Emotional wellness provides individuals with a positive outlook towards life and helps them in coping with
untoward incidents of life. The problems associated with emotional wellness become more evident with old
age. Statistics show that the aging population is increasing fast which means an increase in the strain on
social services. Emotional wellness, in spite of its importance, has received the little attention of academia
and industry. With the advent of novel technologies like wearables, provision of emotional wellness can be
revolutionized. In this paper, we address the need for prevention driven strategies to provide emotional
wellness for young elderly (60-75 years). We conduct a thorough literature review and realize that the
literature does not adequately address the emotional wellness of aging population. We also conduct
Perceived Wellness Survey that shows a strong impact of emotional wellness on other wellness dimensions
and overall wellness of individuals. Based on our literature review and survey results, we provide design
recommendations to develop wearables that can help young elderly to manage their self and stressful
situations better.
