2. Introduction

Digital technologies are rapidly impacting higher education, and digital transformation brings new challenges and opportunities for students, teachers, and staff of higher education institutions.

At the same time, it is crucial to understand the impact of digital technologies on the well-being of all stakeholders in higher education.

Well-being in this context encompasses physical, mental, emotional, and social health, as well as a sense of fulfillment and belonging to the educational environment, ensuring that digitalisation serves people, and not vice versa.

The use of digital technologies in education, professional development, and communication positively affects daily life by providing flexibility in performing these tasks; however, excessive use of digital technologies leads to saturation and aversion toward them. Digital technologies affect the well-being of students, teachers, and other staff of higher education institutions.

At the beginning of this introductory topic, it is important to define and distinguish the basic concepts: well-being, digital well-being, and mental health in order to better understand this subject. A precise understanding of these definitions is the foundation for further exploration.
