As we navigate an increasingly digital world, the intersection of technology and psychological health has become a critical area of inquiry in interpersonal, workplace and organisational contexts. The rise of smartphones, generative AI, social media, and telehealth is transforming how we interact, communicate, access information, and seek help for health and well-being issues. This transformation influences interpersonal relationships, behaviours, and dynamics within modern organisations, all of which have implications for individual and collective well-being.
The conference on "Health and Well-Being in the Digital Era" aims to explore how digital advancements affect population health and well-being and the delivery of health services. It will explore how digital tools can serve as effective interventions in promoting health and well-being in clinical and non-clinical settings. Potential topics will include public perceptions and attitudes towards health and well-being in the digital age, online identity formation, and the implications of technology-mediated social interactions for health and well-being. Other issues that will be discussed include the effects of virtual collaboration on work-life balance and the health and well-being implications of using AI and data analytics to monitor worker productivity. The rise of these technologies also poses risks such as addiction, social isolation and loneliness, and cyberbullying to psychological health and well-being, which must be understood and managed.
The conference will bring together researchers, practitioners, and stakeholders to share and discuss cutting-edge research and best practices in promoting good health and well-being, particularly from social psychology and industrial and organisational psychological perspectives. The event will serve as a platform for sharing knowledge, fostering collaboration, and advocating for ethical considerations in developing and applying digital resources in health and well-being promotion. The conference will comprise keynote speakers and thematic panel discussions.
