Abstract

Wearable devices are currently mostly used in the medical field to monitor the physical condition of humans, but little study is known on the mental level. This article focuses on the implications of applying wearable devices to contemporary design and art, and how wearable devices can care for the spiritual aspect of the wearer. For achieving this, it is essential to invite the audience to participate in the design process, to consider and discuss an idealized design product together, and to move away from “design to solve the needs of human life”. The study received positive feedback from participants through case studies and a self-practice component. It can be concluded that wearable devices targeting the traditional healthcare industry have become the traditional way of healthcare, society and individuals should turn their attention to human consciousness, psychological interactions and how to deal with tricky intimate relationships.
