minded and user-centric technologies. The need for digital wellness education is analogous to teaching propersafety protocols when introducing potentially dangerous power tools. Just as educators prioritizephysical safety in laboratories, instructing students on the responsible use and development ofdigital technologies is imperative.The successful integration of digital wellness in higher education must be both systematic andstudent-centered; grounded in psychology, informed by research, and responsive to the liveddigital experiences of learners.MethodsTo date, our efforts have focused on integrating digital wellness into the core first-yearcurriculum; in this paper, we explore the effectiveness of that integration and make the case
