About Healthy Tech
Healthy Tech is an Association created by Sophie and Simon from Switzerland. Our aim is to create a world, where technology doesn't harm our mental health, but rather is an inconspicuous companion.
The omnipresence of smartphones (and all that comes with it) has a profound implication on our mental health.
We are constantly exposed to a load of information, that - in it's volume - is hard to process. We are always reachable, which gives us a lingering sense of urgency. The widespread use of social media leads to fear of missing out, perpetual comparison and need for validation.
All of these things have led to a society, of which a big part is constantly stressed, anxious and depressed.
Healthy Tech Association wants to go back to the world our children see. A world full of wonders and miracles, a world full of play and being present in the moment. A world, where you can get lost looking after a soap bubble and think it's magic. Without sacrificing the advantages of accessible knowledge, global networking or ingenious applications.
What is
Healthy
Tech?
Many of the digital devices and platforms we use are not healthy for the average human. They make us dependable, they make us question ourself, our life, our friendships. They trigger stress, insomnia and depression. Many of us can't imagine their life anymore, without our smartphone constantly by our side.
In comparison, healthy technology should spark joy. It shouldn't take away from personal interactions, but support those. Healthy Technology doesn't make us dependent on it, but rather is a practical device, that makes our life easier and more fun, without having a huge impact on it.
