Abstract

In recent years, we have seen an explosion of wellness interventions and technology applications focused on human's wellness 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. We therefore conducted a workshop that brought together researchers and practitioners in the wellness field to develop a shared understanding of existing approaches and findings around the wellness interventions and applications and identify key synergies, opportunities, and challenges for future research that lead to successful wellbeing.
