Abstract

Life transitions, whether due to ageing, health conditions, or significant life events, pose unique challenges for individuals’ health and well-being. 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 well-being 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 well-being 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.
