Description

<p> In facing global population aging, the goals of public and private healthcare sectors have expanded to develop strategies for prevention and early diagnosis of diseases and disabilities. Past efforts, however, have presented limited outcomes in part due to the assumption that people rationally engage in their health management. Here we propose – based on a recent well-being model represented by subjective well-being (happiness) and objective well-being (health) – to define enabling factors that can naturally drive human well-being. The enabling factor can be routed by either health-driven or happiness-driven depending on a deliberate outcome of the intervention. Whereas the health-driven enabling factor is extensively studied in the past health promotional efforts, the happiness-driven approach brings a new perspective potentially through the focused, interdisciplinary and collaborative planning, for example, by engaging designers and artists. We anticipate the citywide implementation of enabling factors in daily life ultimately deliver an equitable, healthy and happy world, where people can pursue human well-being currently envisioned within sustainable development goals.</p>
