Technology to Support Individuals with Bipolar

Creating intuitive visualizations that reflect the lived experiences of people managing bipolar disorder.

Description

This project develops metaphor-based information visualizations that are more intuitive, meaningful, and better resonate with the lived experiences those data represent. The current focus is on understanding and visually encoding the mental imagery people associate with the symptoms of their bipolar disorder.
