Abstract
A body of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) research addresses a wide range of wellbeing issues including digital and online health-care, formal and informal healthcare and wellbeing infrastructure, and health informatics. We focus on the wellbeing practices among the underrepresented marginalized communities in rural Bangladesh. The goal of this work is to understand their wellbeing challenges and how those are connected to their religious beliefs and adaptations - that we define as 'Parareligion'. This paper presents our findings from a 3-year long ethnographic study with 150 participants in 15 villages. We extend this discussion by arguing for better inclusion of para-religious practices in Wellbeing-HCI discourse to design more culturally appropriate and sustainable technologies for such target communities.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
