TechWell Lab, led by Prof. Zijun (June) Shi, aims to advance Technology for the Wellbeing Economy by conducting interdisciplinary research at the intersection of artificial intelligence, behavioral science, economics, healthcare, and data science. ​
 

We focus on how AI and digital technologies can genuinely serve consumer needs and wellbeing, with three main themes:

(1) AI-driven Solutions for Consumer Wellbeing. We explore how AI and digital technologies can foster consumer wellbeing, especially in the social and emotional aspects.  

(2) User-centered Design for Healthcare Suppliers. Our research bridges scientific insights and real-world practice in healthcare services and products — investigating how responsible design, ethical governance, and market mechanisms can be shaped to align technological innovation with user adoption and genuine wellbeing outcomes.

(3) Consumer-AI Relationship on Social Wellbeing. We explore the affective relational bonds that consumers develop through their interactions with AI products and services, and examine the implications of such bonds for consumer emotional and social wellbeing.

​

Our group strives to contribute to a human-centered future where technology truly serves people.​
