Efecto sistémico de la Inteligencia Artificial en el Bienestar Integral en Argentina: un Modelo Multidimensional y Culturalmente Adaptado Basado en SAMHSA
Efecto sistémico de la Inteligencia Artificial en el Bienestar Integral en Argentina: un Modelo Multidimensional y Culturalmente Adaptado Basado en SAMHSA
This study will evaluate the effect of an artificial intelligence-supported digital wellbeing platform, Wellbeing All-In-One (WAIO), on multidimensional wellbeing in adults living in Argentina.
The study includes an initial phase to evaluate and refine a culturally adapted wellbeing questionnaire based on the eight dimensions of the SAMHSA wellness framework. It will then conduct a randomized controlled trial in which participants are assigned to either immediate access to the WAIO platform or an active waitlist control group.
Participants will be followed for six months. The study will examine changes in self-reported wellbeing across physical, emotional, social, occupational, spiritual, financial, intellectual, and environmental dimensions, as well as engagement, retention, and safety.

This study uses a sequential mixed-method design consisting of an instrumental calibration phase followed by a two-arm, parallel randomized controlled trial.
During the initial instrumental phase, the preliminary 40-item WAIO Integral Wellbeing Inventory, culturally adapted from the SAMHSA eight-dimension wellness framework, will undergo psychometric evaluation. The first approximately 200 participants completing the baseline assessment will contribute to this phase. The planned evaluation includes assessment of internal consistency, factorial structure, convergent validity, comprehensibility, and test-retest reliability. Items retained after this prespecified calibration process will be used for subsequent longitudinal assessments.
The experimental phase will evaluate a digital wellbeing intervention delivered through the Wellbeing All-In-One (WAIO) progressive web application. WAIO integrates more than 30 interconnected digital tools organized around eight dimensions of wellbeing: physical, emotional, social, occupational, spiritual, financial, intellectual, and environmental. Artificial intelligence is used to personalize aspects of the user experience.
A total recruitment target of 2,000 adults in Argentina is planned. Participants entering the randomized phase will be allocated to one of two parallel groups. Participants in the immediate-intervention group will receive access to WAIO and weekly engagement messages. Participants in the active waitlist control group will receive general health information monthly and will not receive access to WAIO during the six-month comparison period. Access to WAIO will be provided to the waitlist group after completion of that period.
Participants will be assessed at baseline and followed longitudinally over six months. The study is designed to evaluate the trajectory of multidimensional wellbeing, the relationship between exposure to the digital intervention and changes in wellbeing, participant retention, and intervention safety.
The study includes prespecified safety procedures for the identification and management of potentially serious risk signals detected during use of the digital platform.
