We present our ideas for a ubiquitous computing application for family life and happiness driven by human-centered discovery. We are particularly interested in the potential of personal informatics on discovering how “knowing thyself” can help us understand what people truly value in their lives. In this position paper, we discuss a new prototyping approach in which we apply the concept of personal informatics to enable designers and developers to discover potentially viable opportunities for personal lifecare systems for family members to promote their happiness and family values by using the tools of ubiquitous computing.
