| Title |
ClickBrick: A Wearable Device for Time Use and Mood Logging |
| Supervisor |
Dr. Nawwaf Kharma, Dr. Scott Gleason |
| Description |
A core objective of the proposed project is the development of a reproducible prototype of a portable electronic device (similar to a watch or a pager) that would allow the user to keep an anonymized log of the time he/she spends on any one of a number of activities (such as teaching, research and service), as well as his/her feeling between these activities.
The device will be configurable, using an embedded program, to measure time use by an individual, for any short list of mutually exclusive activities. As such, it is meant as a generic tool for unobtrusive collection of data about time use by, and mood of anonymous individuals, independently of the type of individuals or jobs they do, or even the purpose for which this data is collected.
The device will be easy to learn and use, portable or even wearable as well as reliable and robust, and it should offer the user complete anonymity should he/she require it. The collected data will be transferable, via an Internet connection, to a centralized data repository. The form of the data (both logical and physical) shall allow for immediate statistical analysis using commonly available programs (e.g. Excel or SPSS or a Data Mining program especially bought/created for a particular application).
