dc.description.abstractInternational students encounter many challenges while relocating to a foreign country that impacts their mental and physical well-being, creating a cumbersome adaptation process within the new academic and cultural environment. We conducted a series of participatory design sessions with 20 participants from 10 countries to understand international students’ most pressing challenges during their transition to Germany and involve this population in the design process. We revealed the envisioned features of wearable technology as described by international students. Our findings indicate that the continuous accessibility characteristic of wearable technology can facilitate task management among students while also providing essential support for their well-being through monitoring physical and psychological parameters. Furthermore, integrating immersive technology with wearables emerged as a frequently requested addition, enhancing real-time connectivity and assisting students with navigation.en
