Promoting inclusion through information: a study on the well-being of migrant women using a mobile application in Chile

Digital technologies offer new possibilities to strengthen the mental health and well-being of migrants, especially in contexts of high uncertainty, misinformation, and stress associated with the migration process. This article analyses the contributions of using a mobile application (MigrApp) as a tool for guidance and support along the migratory route to Chile, examining its association with well-being through the accessible and culturally adapted delivery of information about rights, administrative procedures, services, and Chilean support networks. The research draws on two methods: a digital survey of MigrApp users conducted in 2026, and a literature review. Together, these methods identify changes in indicators related to migratory uncertainty and access to reliable information. The paper discusses the implications of such digital interventions in the field of migrant well-being with proposing ethical and culturally sensitive design criteria and scalability strategies to strengthen the role of technology in promoting well-being and resilience in migratory contexts. Results indicate that migrant women's perception of the effectiveness of the intervention is inversely associated with their reported psychosocial distress. Timely and linguistically adapted information is considered a fundamental human right that can be promoted through digital interventions, thereby promoting well-being and social inclusion.
