Our Research
TechWell Lab aims to advance AI technology for human well-being by conducting interdisciplinary research at the intersection of artificial intelligence, behavioral science, economics, cognitive science, and data science. Our group strives to contribute to a human-centered future where technology truly serves people.
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 Social and Mental Well-being
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 well-being. Through collaboration with medical specialists and institutions, we iteratively optimize the design (including algorithms, functional features, and the user interface) to improve user experience and well-being outcomes.

Computational Science of Human-AI Affective Relationship
Our research on the human-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 and mental well-being.
User-centered Design for Professionals
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 AI-assisted systems that enable more precise triage, follow-up, and intervention planning across diverse clinical presentations.
