Emolog: An AI- and Biotech-powered emotion regulation App

Reducing parents' negative emotional expressions during interactions with their children.

Project Overview

Emotional dysregulation in parenting can significantly impair the development of a child.

I conducted primary research with parents and secondary research on emotion regulation theories to learn emotional dysregulation in parenting. The insights informed a cross-device concept connecting a smartphone and smartwatch to support real-time emotion recognition and regulation.

Key Research Questions

- Why do parents lose control of their emotions during interactions with their children, and what are the design opportunities? - What emotion regulation theories and technologies can inform the design?
