Miguel Midões reporter was to evaluate the state of mind with this app
A researcher at the University of Coimbra created a mobile app that earned him the distinction in Germany’s Young Scientist Award. The application uses a technology called neural networks, which allows the machine to learn about the man, based on what is passed to it.
This “app”, which is presented as revolutionary, wants to change the paradigm and put the technologies closer to understanding the human being. For this, as they will receive information, correct it and makes proposals depending on the user’s state of mind.
“When detected that the person is stressed or upset show you a map which indicates how many people are in that place and what is the general environment, “indicates David Nunes, the latest holder of the Young Scientist Award. “After giving suggestions for people to improve their state of mind, showing, for example, the museums that are in the vicinity or the green parks,” he added.
The investigator explains that in order for the phone can detect the state of mind of a human being is used a “smart shirt, although we are working on a version that does not need this element, because not everyone has one. The idea is to try to address external factors (with the phone’s microphone) , physiological factors (such as heart rate) and environmental factors (the weather conditions) “lists.
Rated all these components, it is time for the Happy Hour indicate whether the feeling is” euphoria, anger , anxiety and calm “. Every hour, the application user receives a notification with your state of mind can change the displayed information, because that’s how the application gets to know better those who use it, memorize what you learn about the person and presents the most suitable solutions .
“Happy Hour – Improving Mood With an Emotionally Aware Application” born of the PhD project that this 27 year-old is making in the Department of Computer Engineering at the University of Coimbra. The Young Scientist Award award was presented in Germany at the International Conference IEEE-I4CS. – Innovation for Community Service
