Moodbook: an application for continuous monitoring of social media usage and mood

The use of mobile phones has transcended its initial use as a communication device to become a medium to fulfilling social needs. While this has been beneficial to some, studies have exposed adverse effects such as depression and social media addiction. Since it is not always clear which category the user belongs, we propose a mobile application that records the social media interaction patterns of a user. The application also captures their mood before and after each social media use, until it can automatically infer the mood of the user through their social media interaction pattern. Consenting users can transmit the data collected on their device to a central location for further analysis by researchers of human behaviour or mobile application developers to provide intervention to users or design guidelines for mobile applications

Ubiquitous mobile sensing:Behaviour, mood, and environment

Our world is increasingly interconnected via a wide variety of computers, IoT, wearable and mobile devices. The information provided collectively through these devices offers insightful information on our everyday lives, daily patterns, mood, behaviour, and surrounding environment. Our workshop brings together researchers interested in collecting and augmenting context to understand device specific behaviour and routines, human behaviour and mood, and changes in the environment. The outcomes of this workshop are new tools, methodologies, and potential collaborations for sensing the outlying world as well as ourselves.</p
