Smartphone Apps

Emotion Sense. Emotion Sense is an Android application developed by researchers at the University of Cambridge that lets you explore how your mood relates to the data that your smartphone can invisibly capture as you carry it throughout the day.

Easy M. Easy M is an application for researchers to conduct experience sampling studies that collect smartphone sensor data.

Q Sense. Q Sense is a smartphone app being developed by researchers at the University of Cambridge for people who want to quit smoking. It works by learning about your high-risk locations and situations before you quit, so that it can send situation-specific personalised support once you begin your quit attempt.

Mood Traces is an Android application for statistical analysis of mobility patterns developed at the University of Birmingham. The data collected will be analyzed to better understanding the correlation between mobility patterns, activity patterns, and emotional states of individuals.

My Phone and Me can help you to monitor your phone usage pattern and your interaction with notifications. The app presents an avatar which tells your addiction level at the current moment. Also, it shows the amount of time the phone has been used, the app which is used the most and the app which triggers most notifications. Moreover, the app offers you to visualise your phone activities such as hourly phone usage, hourly usage of an individual app, and your interaction with notifications.
