Abstract

<p>Most of the contemporary wellbeing research targets the subjective happiness and satisfaction of individuals, and accordingly, the development of information technology related to wellbeing tends to be “optimally designed” with the goal of improving and maximizing the above-mentioned subjective indices. However, such an approach is intimately related to the human perspective, which views human beings as objects to be controlled, and in this respect is incompatible with the fulfillment of individual wellbeing. In this article, we focus on the wholeness and unstable stability of wellbeing, and describe a concept and use cases of assistive technology for wellbeing based on the “Agile” methodology adopted in the field of software development.</p>
