Abstract

The Moment is a mobile application for people with depression or bipolar disorder to monitor their emotional ups and downs, reveal their emotional patterns, and eventually find a peaceful way to live with their emotions, rather than fighting with them. The system consists of two main components: a smartphone. application for the users to track their feelings and memories about events, and a sensor recording their physiological responses. The data will then be visualized in several ways and can be shared with trusted individuals or mental health professionals. The goal is to make the user more aware of her mood swings and the precursors to them; to reveal patterns of the swings; to provide a record for healthcare providers; to build a library of personalized interventions for future use; and to create an effective network of social supports.
