Cisco and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) have launched the first Digital Wellbeing Center, an innovative platform that comprehensively examines how technology affects people’s wellbeing in various aspects of daily life. This joint project is part of Cisco’s Digital Country Acceleration program and aims to provide data and evidence to help develop inclusive digital policies.
A Holistic Approach for the Digital Age
The Digital Wellbeing Center gathers information on how digitization influences factors such as mental health, life satisfaction, cybersecurity, digital skills, and civic engagement. Through collaboration with visitors who share their experiences, the OECD and Cisco aim to build a global and accurate view of technology’s impact on wellbeing, from the use of artificial intelligence tools to climate awareness and social relationships.
The platform arises in a context where technological advancement transforms every aspect of daily life. However, despite its impact, there has not been a study connecting these factors across the board to understand their repercussions on quality of life and personal security until now.
Overcoming Digital Inequalities
A recent OECD report revealed that 40% of adults in its member countries lack basic digital skills, limiting their ability to navigate digital environments safely. Additionally, more than half of workers express concern that AI-driven data collection could lead to biased decisions against them. However, there has been a lack of understanding of the daily impact of these shortcomings on individual wellbeing, from access to job opportunities to participation in online health and education services.
A Call for Global Collaboration
Cisco and the OECD invite individuals from around the world to contribute their experiences to enrich the Digital Wellbeing Center. As data is collected, the OECD will combine these testimonies with its current research to provide a more detailed view of digital wellbeing globally in 2025.
The Center is based on the OECD Wellbeing Framework and serves as both a collaborative research platform and a consultation tool for users, who can compare data at the country level and explore the impact of technology on various dimensions of wellbeing. This information will be crucial in guiding policy formulation and decisions that contribute to a more inclusive and sustainable digital future.
The Importance of Building an “Authentic Audience”
Since its inception, the Digital Wellbeing Center has captured both the potential and possible contradictions of modern digital life. While accessible and affordable technology can enhance productivity and transform the ways we work and connect, there are also risks of overuse and negative effects, especially in social and environmental realms.
The Digital Wellbeing Center represents a vital step in building an “authentic” and connected audience that reflects the real experiences of people and enables the design of responsible, safe, and inclusive solutions.
A Commitment to an Inclusive Digital Future
Cisco and the OECD are committed to reducing inequalities in internet access, which currently affects one-third of the global population. This collaboration seeks to pave the way for an inclusive digital era where technology benefits everyone, without compromising rights or violating privacy.
This innovative Digital Wellbeing Center, the first global study comprehensively connecting multiple dimensions of wellbeing with digital life, symbolizes the joint effort of Cisco and the OECD to understand and manage the challenges and opportunities of digital transformation.
