Editorial: Design for Wellbeing, Happiness and Health

Abstract

More than 2 years ago, Covid-19 penetrated our societies, economies and health care systems, impacting our health, our wellbeing and our lives. Since the end of February 2022, a war started in Ukraine, impacting again our societies, economies, and people all over the world. Wellbeing, Happiness and Health are precious in these challenging times and are more pertinent than ever. SIGWELL is the Design Research Society's Special Interest Group (SIG) focusing on Design for Wellbeing, Happiness and Health. The SIGWELL community has an interest in advancing knowledge with the development and application of design research in the broadest sense to improve the wellbeing, happiness and personal and societal health of people. After careful selection through a double-blinded peer review process conducted by an international review panel, eleven conference papers were accepted, each linking to our SIG’s key themes and issues as well as to the DRS 2022 conference themes.
