ABSTRACT
In recent years, we have seen a large explosion of wellness interventions and technology applications focused on human's well-being with the intention of helping people avoid needing medical care. Given the increasing emergence of wellness applications, there is a need to integrate existing diverse research endeavors and discuss key challenges and opportunities for next generation wellness interventions and applications. In this SIG, we bring together researchers and practitioners in the wellness field to develop a shared understanding of existing approaches around the wellness interventions and applications and identify key synergies, opportunities, and challenges for future research that lead to successful wellbeing.
