#digitalempathy

 We are living in an era where technology connects billions of people every second, yet humanity feels emotionally farther apart than ever. Our communication has become faster, more efficient, more global—but not necessarily more humane.

🧬 National HIV Testing Day 📅 June 27 — A day to choose awareness over fear, and action over silence.

At Newish Technology, we believe technology should not just transform business — it should also empower lives. On this day, let’s amplify the message of health awareness, testing without stigma, and compassion in our communities.

💡 Why it Matters:

🧪 Early HIV testing = early protection

❤️ Helps stop the stigma around health checks

🤝 Builds a responsible, informed digital society

🌐 We stand for health, humanity & honesty. Let’s use the power of digital voice to spread the right information and support those who need it.

In today’s rapidly evolving digital world, algorithms influence everything—from what we read and watch to how we navigate health care and job applications. Yet, much of tech design is still built on abstraction and efficiency, leaving out the lived realities of users. This is where agentic research introduces a powerful and necessary shift. By prioritizing user voice, experience, and emotion, it humanizes technology development.

Agentic research views users not as test subjects or data points but as active collaborators. In tech design, this means co-creating systems with the people who will use them, drawing from their real-world challenges, emotions, and feedback. It invites deeper questions about ethics, impact, and inclusion—transforming the way digital tools are built and experienced.

Traditional UX research often relies on usability metrics, click-through rates, or predefined tasks. While useful, these metrics only scratch the surface. Agentic methods, on the other hand, go deeper by engaging users in reflective storytelling, visual mapping, journaling, and open dialogue. These tools capture not just how users interact with a product, but why they behave the way they do, what they fear, value, or desire, and how the system shapes their agency.

This approach is particularly important in areas like AI design, health tech, educational apps, and social platforms, where the consequences of digital experiences are deeply personal and emotional. For example, consider an AI recommendation tool used in hiring. Instead of merely measuring response rates, agentic research would involve job seekers in discussions about transparency, bias, and dignity—leading to a more ethical, human-centered solution.

Moreover, agentic research emphasizes co-design, encouraging users to sketch features, build mockups, and critique early prototypes. This not only results in more relevant products but also empowers users as co-creators, building trust and equity in the design process.

Incorporating agentic principles into tech research isn’t just a methodological shift—it’s a moral one. It challenges developers and researchers to think beyond convenience and efficiency, toward empathy, justice, and inclusion.

Using Agentic Research in Tech:

Use reflective journaling tools to help users share their experiences in their own words and time.

Involve users in co-design sessions, letting them shape wireframes, flows, and content.
