Designing for Digital Wellbeing

Every aspect of our everyday life has been infiltrated by technology. In many cases, technology has the potential to increase personal development and enhancing social participation. Despite these advantages, technology and digital services have the potential to have a detrimental impact on people's emotional, physical, and social wellbeing. Screens and smart technology have transformed into amazing doors to other worlds, people, and emotions in the Digital Age, yet our relationship with our gadgets is nuanced and occasionally tense. We define digital wellbeing as a condition in which one’s subjective wellbeing is preserved in a setting defined by an abundance of digital communication. Digital wellness refers to the influence of various technologies on our mental, emotional, and even physical health and refers to the pursuit of an intentional and healthy relationship with technology, both in the professional and in personal life. It’s about having a positive relationship with technology, where we recognize how it may improve rather than interfere with how we perceive the world.
