Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal participants are adults (≥18 years) who consent to the research, with app arms requiring sign-up to EviBody (typically via electronic identification) and primary analyses excluding those with very high baseline well‑being (>70).
✕Probably not a fit
People already using another behaviour‑change digital product, those with baseline well‑being scores above 70 (excluded from primary analyses), or users discharged for violating app terms are unlikely to benefit from this evaluation.

What this trial studies
This is a real-world, quasi-experimental observational project comparing three membership levels of the EviBody app (basic, standard, premium) with a non-randomised control group from the general population. Adults choose their membership level at enrolment and all participants complete seven questionnaires over 24 months while researchers extract anonymised app analytics. Primary analyses focus on changes in well‑being and lifestyle behaviors at six months and maintenance up to 24 months, with subgroup analyses by sociodemographic factors and dose–response by membership level. The protocol also examines whether engagement, motivation, self‑efficacy, and perceived barriers mediate observed effects.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the intervention could provide an accessible, personalised digital way to help many adults adopt and sustain healthier behaviors and better mental well‑being.
How similar studies have gone: Prior digital behaviour‑change interventions have shown mixed but promising results for lifestyle and mental health, while fully personalised, AI‑supported apps remain a relatively new approach with limited long‑term real‑world evidence.
