OVERVIEW

"Well-Being Technologies" (WBT)  concerns the synergistic usage of technologies such as m-Health, wearable and ambient sensors, (Serious) Game Design, Gamification, IoT, Virtual Reality, Computational Intelligence, and Data Mining to the design of systems supporting the development of wellness and human potential. WBT can contribute to the change of people's mindset, improving their mood and wellness, to the early diagnosis of cognitive illness and to the cognitive rehabilitation.
