Emotional code: Mental health application
Emotional code is a self-tracking mental health application, which makes people know why emotions exist and helps users to understand the cores of their own feelings.
Veronica (Yun-Hsin) Huang is a Phd candidate of Clinical Psychology at National Taiwan University, who is also one of my best friends from childhood. Emotional code is a project we worked together to apply funding from National Science Council for 諾耶廣告. In the beginning of this project Veronica and I were interested in anxiety management. She specialized in anxious emotion and I personally try hard to cope with anxiety and fear for long. We engaged in how to guide the users via smart phone app to dig out the core thoughts of reactions from an incident by themselves.

Fear is a necessary emotion. It notes human to avoid danger and stimulate people to explore capability. However, superfluous fear causes anxiety.
How to deal with our anxiety and fear ideally?
1. Notice the fear
2. Figure out where the fear comes exactly from
3. Transform the core thought of the fear to a notion which lead you to move on
A common method in psychology therapy to deeply go through fear emotion and eventually eliminate anxiety:
> Rate the feeling of fear and the reaction of your body
> What are the dangers causing the feeling and the reaction in the environment?
> What do those dangers remind you?
> Does do these thoughts influence your performance?
…>> No /*Congratulations! you get just-enough stress to face challenge.*/
…>> Yes
…..> How can I do with the anxiety?
……..>> Mental adjustment: Positive thinking
……..>> Physical adjustment: Relaxation techniques
……..>> Face it: Solve the problem itself
——
Based on the this method, I came up with few design challenges.
_ How might we lead the user to list the feeling and the reaction thoroughly via the app ?
_ How might the app connect the user’s specific thoughts to the feeling and the reaction ?
_ How might we help the user to understand the knob thought and break it ?

Typical life of Taiwan
Found the graphic Japan Day artwork submitted by Christoper Dina to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Japan’s donation of cherry trees to the United States. This artwork is illustration of Japanese typical life objects. Inspired by Dina’s work, I decided to make illustration about Taiwanese typical daily stuff.
These illustrations are also posted at 大人物.
