It aims to create innovative approaches to empower the society and its individuals though the use of technologies that may positively impact their overall wellbeing. It identifies the main characteristics of everyday living in order to drive research and innovation towards addressing the main challenges that have to be addressed to empower the individuals and society in their quest for wellbeing.

This SIB intends to empower not only people with a compromised state of personal wellbeing but also healthy people like their relatives and caregivers and others capable of maintaining and improving their personal condition. Improving awareness of personal state and persuading positive changes in lifestyle and habits can be accomplished by producing means to interface systems with humans. SIB participants have an opportunity to cooperatively develop technologies focusing on improving the different dimensions of human wellbeing. This includes creation of unobtrusive sensing means to identify the relevant physical, physiological and psychological parameters and consequently develop comprehensive models of the human wellbeing.
