Internet of Things Mood Tracker for School or Work
How are doing? Thats sort of the idea behind this project. It isn’t always easy to let someone know, or even to know when, to ask. This iot tracker lets users check in easily without a word.
This project is designed to help students track their mood with feedback sent to academic advisors to know how a student cohort is doing on a daily or weekly basis.
The mood tracker is inspired by the notion of checking in on how a group of people are doing using “thumbs” as a visual cue. An upward, side, or downward-pointing thumb signifies a good, ok, or bad emotional state, respectively 👍👎
When we pair the thumbs check-in with the 60’s practice of punching-in at work, the result is a daily mood tracker for students that would help the program serve them better.
