Our Research
TechWell Lab 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 making AI technologies genuinely serve consumer needs and wellbeing.
Below are some selected examples of our recent works. For collaboration and more details about our projects or demos, please contact juneshi@ust.hk.
AI-driven Solutions For Enhancing Consumer Wellbeing
We build intelligent systems with human experts in the loop to deliver accessible, interactive, and personalized health management and intervention for users' emotional and social wellbeing. Through collaboration with medical specialists and institutions, we iteratively optimize the design (including algorithms, functional features, and the user interface) for better user experience and wellbeing outcomes.

User-centered Design for Healthcare Suppliers
We leverage AI to empower healthcare professionals in navigating caregiving decisions and enabling more effective engagement with patients/consumers. For example, we collaborate with clinicians and hospitals to develop agentic screening systems that enable more precise triage, follow-up, and intervention planning across diverse clinical presentations. As another example, we develop training platforms for novice professionals to help beginners build up caregiving skills and decision-making ability in a safe and scalable environment.

Consumer-AI Relationship on Social Wellbeing
Our research on the consumer-AI relationship focuses on the Affective Relationship dimension. We explore the emotional and relational bonds that consumers develop through their interactions with AI products and services, and examine the implications of such bonds for consumer social wellbeing.
