Digital Wellbeing in the Context of Decision Support Systems
CHI 2019 Workshop on Designing for Digital Wellbeing: A Research & Practice Agenda, May 4 - 9, 2019, Glasgow, Scotland, UK (bib)

In this paper, digital wellbeing is defined as an umbrella term for a state of individual wellbeing that is supported by digital technologies. The importance of digital wellbeing in the context of Decision Support Systems (DSS) is discussed. Technical solutions to support important, possibly life-changing decisions can have a major impact on our wellbeing. Career decision making presents a key application case to discuss opportunities for improving the design of current systems. A main research goal is derived from the discussion: to increase digital wellbeing by supporting self-reflection and fostering decision-making skills rather than giving the user concrete recommendations based on criteria limited to what is technically accessible.
