Apresentação
The WellApp project explores and challenges the socio-cultural trend of the meanings of wellness, self-care and balance in contemporary life that emerge in digital spaces mediated by apps. Based on platform studies, a mixed methodology is used to analyse dynamics and practices reflecting whether the management of wellness is shaped or pushed by the growing offer and adoption of apps towards a platformisation of health.
WellApp is a project hosted by NOVA University of Lisbon, and supported by iNOVA Media Lab. It is funded within the scope of a project grant (ICNOVA/UIDB/004/2022/WellApp) under the auspices of the research unit NOVA Institute of Communication (ICNOVA).
