Abstract

System design for well-being needs an appropriate tool to help designers to determine relevant requirements that can help human well-being to flourish. Personas come as a simple yet powerful tool in the early development stage of the user interface design. Considering well-being determinants in the early design process provide benefits for both the user and the development team. Therefore, in this short paper, we performed a literature study to provide a conceptual model of well-being in personas and propose positive design interventions in the personas creation process.
