Abstract
Description
Research into health, particularly social and psychological health, is crucial. Ultimately,
an in-depth understanding of social and psychological health will more than promote well-being.
Technology research is indispensable, particularly concerning health and the built environment,
given the need to create holistic and supportive frameworks for well-being. Moreover, because
literature reviews establish the foundation for academic inquiries, they provide valuable overviews
for foresight into grey research areas, particularly multi-disciplinary research like health technology
and the built environment. Hence, this study aims to discover the existing themes on health,
technology, and built-environment nexus subjects while revealing the grey areas and suggesting
proactive areas for future research. The objectives drove this aim to: 1. investigate the implications
of technology for the social and psychological dimensions of health; 2. uncover the likelihood of a
nexus between health, technology, and the built environment; and 3. highlight new research
perspectives for the concluding seven years of the SDGs (2024–2030). The review results highlighted
ten themes around which a nexus exists between health, technology, and the built environment;
they also pointed out new research perspectives for the next seven years (up to 2023).
