Overview

This study explores the feasibility of ContextWell, a well-being education programme that combines an online webinar with an AI-powered behavioural nudging system. The programme aims to support university students, particularly those in healthcare disciplines, in enhancing well-being and adopting healthier lifestyle habits. The primary objective is to determine whether the programme can be feasibly delivered within university settings. A secondary objective is to assess its potential to improve student well-being and encourage behavioural changes aligned with lifestyle medicine principles. The intervention builds on the understanding that healthcare professionals' lifestyle habits and well-being have a direct impact on patient care. Focusing on healthcare students helps advance the integration of lifestyle medicine within health education and clinical practice. This single-group feasibility study delivers the full intervention to all participants. Students participate in an online well-being webinar and receive AI-generated behavioural prompts designed to promote self-awareness and healthier daily choices. Key evaluation measures will indicated the feasibility of the programme among young adults in academic environments. Participant feedback and initial outcomes will support future development and inform larger-scale research.
