Abstract

The rapid advancement of digital health technologies creates new opportunities to enhance psychological well-being beyond symptom reduction. Emotion-aware systems, grounded in positive computing approaches, enable digital platforms to respond adaptively to users’ affective states and promote sustained well-being rather than merely addressing negative symptoms. This study examines the development and quantitative evaluation of an emotion-aware digital health platform designed to support psychological well-being through positive computing principles. A quantitative research design was employed to assess the effectiveness of the platform. The system integrates self-reported emotional scales and behavioral interaction data to detect users’ emotional states in real time. Psychological well-being was measured using validated instruments, including the WHO-5 Well-Being Index, administered before and after platform usage. Statistical analysis was conducted to evaluate changes in well-being indicators and emotional awareness levels. The findings demonstrate a statistically significant improvement in users’ psychological well-being, positive affect, and emotional awareness after interacting with the platform. These results provide empirical evidence that integrating emotion-awareness into digital health systems can generate measurable humanistic impact and contribute to sustainable psychological well-being through positive computing approaches.
