Outcome


Intention

We are often not aware how our wellness is shaped by our actions and surroundings or it has changed over time due to events we have experienced. Periodically capturing a data portrait of yourself would allow you to look from a distance, to notice behavioral or environmental features that are impacting your well-being and perception of yourself and the world. This intervention will explore how existing or possible behavioral data could be scoured and presented to allow individuals to see a representation of themselves change over time. This tool would help identify potentially hazardous habits, agents, situations, or spaces.

The use of sensor data from a mobile phone to predict changes in major depression.

Data collected: noise amplitude (from microphone), location, WiFi SSIDs, light intensity (from ambient light sensor), movement (from accelerometer), device states (such as screen on/off, apps currently running, and the battery-charging state), daily call logs, and text messages from the phone. Features were extracted from these data streams to generate three main behavior parameters: social interaction, mobility, and phone usage. 


Depicting Emotional Range

I enjoy the way Nick was able to use simple shapes and two colors to elicit visceral emotions that are immediately relatable.
