App Description

This project aims to develop MyEmotionality, a web app based on an existing partial prototype that is designed to assist people to manage mood through features aligned with principles of Behavioral Activation. A core component of Behavioral Activation involves guiding clients to engage in activities that provide them with positive reinforcement. The app presents icons representing the mood states agitated, angry, depressed, dissociated, scared. When an icon is pressed, media from an associated playlist (described below) are played. After content is played, the user is prompted to indicate whether the item played was helpful. Items are promoted or demoted in the playlist based on this feedback.
