“…Three papers look at measuring user behavior when using technology (computers, or performing tasks) and mapping it to stress and anxiety symptoms [82,105,150]. Another strand (14) tries to extract features from popular social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, Lifejournal) trying to correlate users' content and online behaviour with affective disorder symptoms [9, 10, 35, 36, 45-49, 74, 79, 104, 122, 161].…”

“…Mindfulness can be defined [181] as acceptance of the moment through non-judgment. In this category, five papers are novel designs [14,133,146,154,168], two are studies of previously developed applications [137,153] and two present studies for understanding how to better design mindfulness in general, outside of therapeutic settings [80,181].…”

In the last decade, the number of articles on HCI and health has increased dramatically. We extracted 139 papers on depression, anxiety and bipolar health issues from 10 years of SIGCHI conference proceedings. 72 of these were published in the last two years. A systematic analysis of this growing body of literature revealed that most innovation happens in automated diagnosis, and self-tracking, although there are innovative ideas in tangible interfaces. We noted an overemphasis on data production without consideration of how it leads to fruitful interventions. Moreover, we see a need to promote ethical practices for involvement of people living with affective disorders. Finally, although only 16 studies evaluate technologies in a clinical context, several forms of support and intervention illustrate how rich insights are gained from evaluations with real patients. Our findings highlight potential for growth in the design space of affective health technologies.

“…postpartum changes [5], suicidal ideation [6], self-disclosure [3], severity of depression [58], and mental health issues in general [37]). Another strand of relevant HCI work has looked into interactive devices for guiding mindful practices [14] to reduce high-intensity negative emotions in the short-term [4] or tracking depressive symptoms [38]. This body of work builds on positive psychology [29], utilizing lifelogging technologies [29] to better support coping strategies through expression [43] or increased social communication [61].…”

Depression is an affective disorder with distinctive autobiographical memory impairments, including negative bias, overgeneralization and reduced positivity. Several clinical therapies address these impairments, and there is an opportunity to develop new supports for treatment by considering depression-associated memory impairments within design. We report on interviews with ten experts in treating depression, with expertise in both neuropsychology and cognitive behavioral therapies. The interviews explore approaches for addressing each of these memory impairments. We found consistent use of positive memories for treating all memory impairments, the challenge of direct retrieval, and the need to support the experience of positive memories. Our contributions aim to sensitize HCI researchers to the limitations of memory technologies, broaden their awareness of memory impairments beyond episodic memory recall, and inspire them to engage with this less explored design space. Our findings open up new design opportunities for memory technologies for depression, including positive memory banks for active encoding and selective retrieval, novel cues for supporting generative retrieval, and novel interfaces to strengthen the reliving of positive memories.

“…This can present some challenges to the participants since they must attend meetings that fit into their schedules and some participants feel uncomfortable participating and disclosing in social sessions [60]. There are several other ways to practice mindfulness, including videos, books, and mobile applications and a variety of technologies have been developed to support mindfulness, such as virtual reality (VR) systems [24,28,32,33,43,47], mobile applications [12,21,23], or tangibles [5,59]. Recently, voice assistants have been gaining popularity and acceptance, taking up roles in our lives helping in various contexts, such as support social interactions for older adults [44], promote the development of self-regulated learning [49], facilitate self-reflection on collaborative activities [41], persuade people to exercise [40], and controlling entertainment consumption [10].…”

In our busy lives, meals are being squeezed into shorter times, or fit into multitasking routines of watching videos and scrolling through social media. This can lead to eating quickly without considering the food choices and overeating. Mindful eating has been promoted as an effective method to combat mindless eating with various tools available to facilitate mindfulness practices. However, the use of voice assistants to facilitate mindful eating is rather limited. We developed a voice assistant to facilitate mindful eating activities and conducted a field study with four participants over six days. We examined how the social role of the voice assistant, acting as a friend or a counselor, affects mindful eating experiences. The results suggest that voice assistants can assist users in mindful eating, however, participants preferred the friend version of the voice assistant. Implications for the design of voice assistants for mindfulness activities are provided. CCS CONCEPTS• Human-centered computing → Personal digital assistants.
