Digital Wellbeing refers to the state of an individual’s health and quality of life as influenced by their use of digital technology. It encompasses a balance between the benefits of digital tools and the potential negative effects of excessive or unhealthy technology use. Digital Wellbeing includes considerations of mental, emotional, and physical health in relation to how individuals interact with devices, social media, and online content.
The concept encourages users to reflect on their digital habits, promoting practices that enhance mindfulness, reduce screen time, and foster healthier interactions with technology. It also involves leveraging digital tools to improve wellbeing, such as using apps that track usage patterns, set boundaries for device use, and provide resources for maintaining mental health. Overall, Digital Wellbeing aims to create a more intentional approach to technology usage, helping individuals lead healthier, more fulfilling lives in a digitally connected world.
