Group description

Abstract

A pure software end-user application that supports people in their need to socialize while motivating self-improvement. Anthropomorphism is intentionally used to increase user commitment and experience. Machine learning techniques are used to process user's data and provide feedback, and to facilitate the anthropomorphized interface.

Problem statement and objectives

Goals

The software application should:

• Significantly reduce symptoms of loneliness as induced by infrequent social contact in users
• Register personal goals set by the users
• Collect data on the user's behavior and progress towards goals
• Provide the user with feedback and constructive nudges

Beyond the scope

The following features are probably valuable additions to the product, but they are beyond the scope of what can be achieved in one quartile:

• Voice recognition
• Animated anthropomorphized interface (e.g. simulated face)

Who are the users

The target of the application is to support civilians in daily life. The audience of the prototype is narrowed down to adolescents and adults who use computers on a daily basis.
