Data Visualization for Mental Health Monitoring in Smart Home Environment: A Case Study

Mental health care and monitoring are important. Advancements in smart home sensing technology also make tracking people's activities easy in the home, enabling the monitoring of mental health more effectively. Some related works have demonstrated the possibilities of mental health monitoring using sensor data collected in smart homes. However, there is a lack of prior research on how to effectively utilize smart home data visualization to help people understand how their everyday behaviors are related to their mental health status. This poster presents a case study on data visualization for mental health monitoring in a smart home environment. Our web-based application allows users to browse their self-reported mental health states and home activities and visualize the correlation between mental health states and home activities.
