MobileWell400+: A Large-Scale Multivariate Longitudinal Mobile Dataset for Investigating Individual and Collective Well-Being

Resumen

This study engaged 409 participants over a period spanning from July 10 to August 8, 2023, ensuring representation across various demographic factors: 221 females, 186 males, 2 non-binary, year of birth between 1951 and 2005, with varied annual incomes and from 15 Spanish regions. The MobileWell400+ dataset, openly accessible, encompasses a wide array of data collected via the participants' mobile phone, including demographic, emotional, social, behavioral, and well-being data. Methodologically, the project presents a promising avenue for uncovering new social, behavioral, and emotional indicators, supplementing existing literature. Notably, artificial intelligence is considered to be instrumental in analysing these data, discerning patterns, and forecasting trends, thereby advancing our comprehension of individual and population well-being. Ethical standards were upheld, with participants providing informed consent.  The following is a non-exhaustive list of collected data: Data continuously collected through the participants' smartphone sensors: physical activity (resting, walking, driving, cycling, etc.), name of detected WiFi networks, connectivity type (WiFi, mobile, none), ambient light, ambient noise, and status of the device screen (on, off, locked, unlocked). Data corresponding to an initial survey prompted via the smartphone, with information related to demographic data, effects and COVID vaccination, average hours of physical activity, and answers to a series of questions to measure mental health, many of them taken from internationally recognised psychological and well-being scales (PANAS, PHQ, GAD, BRS and AAQ), social isolation (TILS) and economic inequality perception. Data corresponding to daily surveys prompted via the smartphone, where variables related to mood (valence, activation, energy and emotional events) and social interaction (quantity and quality) are measured. Data corresponding to weekly surveys prompted via the smartphone, where information on overall health, hours of physical activity per week, lonileness, and questions related to well-being are asked. Data corresponding to an final survey prompted via the smartphone, consisting of similar questions to the ones asked in the initial survey, namely psychological and well-being items (PANAS, PHQ, GAD, BRS and AAQ), social isolation (TILS) and economic inequality perception questions.
