This course will focus of tools and technologies that support physical, mental or social well-being. A first goal of the course is to survey the current understanding in the areas of mental and emotional well-being, social well-being and physical well-being (nutrition, exercise and sleep). A second goal is to take a look at technologies which could help promote well-being, including quantified self technologies, games for health, techniques for supporting change or formation of habits, on-body and in-body sensors, wearable technologies and augmented human technologies. Last but not least, a final goal of the course is for students to design and implement original projects in the area of technologies for well-being (in small groups). The majority of class meetings will consist of talks by invited speakers from a wide variety of backgrounds.
