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.
