Creating Epistemic Communities through Emotional Wellbeing in a Digital World : Leveraging Synergies between Emotional Wellbeing and Good Health

Abstract

Geographies across the globe are transitioning to a digital world for ease of access and embracing ease of living with innovation. With critical challenges like climate change, diseases, migration and resource inequality, there is a widespread disparity in the way we communicate or connect within our communities though digitally we have evolved leaps and bound technically and scientifically. For creating epistemic communities, human development is a basic prerequisite. Most of the countries almost are well below in their performance score of human development index. Climate change, diseases, mass migration and resource inequalities have put underlying pressure on health, job opportunities and ease of living affecting emotional well-being of societies and human effort. In a world where information gets digitally transcended within seconds and issues are effectively addressed, yet emotional connect is unstructured. Empathy, gratitude, responsibility, accountability and compassion to sustain in an evolving digital landscape is lacking. The COVID 19 Pandemic was an best example of how public health can get crippled and drain health, economy and social wellbeing. This paper reflects on the significance of human excellence over artificial intelligence for nudging the gap between emotional wellbeing and work and environmental including social upheavals. It suggests to have social valuation of health impacts. Drawing synergies between human machinery and artificial machinery to address social and health well-being are both important.
