JoyTech.org was created to help stem the epidemic in mental illness. We have learned it’s not enough to treat sick people, we want to explore the causes of depression and drivers of suicide to discover ways of coping and improving the way we all live. Technology is crucial to our cause and close to our hearts. The tech sector has the influence, the ingenuity and the money to alter humanity’s course.
Our simple goal is to develop an unique understanding of what brings humanity joy and to discover technologies and strategies to create more of it.
The JoyTech Organisation aims to satisfy four needs:
1. To establish an unique knowledge base and source of insight to drive measurable change.
2. To provide a smart source of content that helps people cope with the impact of technology.
3. To help the tech industry understand how it can change to have a more positive (or less negative) impact on society.
4. To identify, support and facilitate development.
Our overarching ambition is to reconcile technological progress with its impact on humanity.
