Abstract

The proliferation of mobile devices and the ubiquitous nature of cameras today serve to increase the importance of Emotionally Aware Computational Devices. We present a tool to help clinicians and mental health professionals to monitor and assess patients by providing an automated appraisal of a patient’s mood as determined from facial expressions. The App takes video as input from a patient and creates an annotated, configurable record for the clinician as output accessible from mobile devices, Internet or IoT devices.
