Description
Life transitions, whether due to ageing, health conditions, or significant life events, pose unique challenges for individuals’ health and wellbeing. These periods demand adjustments in physical health and self-care of mental states. Meanwhile, interactive technologies like personal informatics, self-tracking tools, artificial intelligence (AI) driven health monitoring systems and virtual reality can enhance wellbeing by helping individuals understand their bodily changes; their role in life transitions is under-explored. Therefore, this workshop aims to bridge the gap between the availability of interactive technologies for managing health and wellbeing and their meaningful use during life transitions. By examining current practices and gaps, we seek to identify opportunities for designing interactive technologies and develop a research agenda to facilitate the alignment of these technologies with the evolving needs of individuals.
