Design and Responsive Technologies for Human Well-being.

The field of research involving design and well-being, finds in the development of responsive technologies and Artificial Intelligence the latest tools for mutual influence and transformation. Research on this topic, shared at the Disrupting Geographies in the Design World forum, testified to the multiple and contemporary fields of investigation related both to technological development and the human sphere. The paper proposes a clustering of research on this topic into two sets: the first group gathers research and design approaches that increase human knowledge toward digital data, the second brings together insights on behavioral changes generated by design using emerging technologies. The results of the debate and the categorizations open new focus points aimed at improving, through the discipline of design, individual and collective well-being.
