« Cambridge University researches have now created an app that
can measure the user’s happiness and mood. »
[…]
« Information
from the phone, such as what time it is unlocked each morning, how
many texts and calls are made and received, movements, location, and
external noise, can be used to gauge just how social the individual
is being. And then there’s the human layer, which asks the phone’s
owner to determine their mood–these have been devised by
psychologists. »
[…]
« Some
critics are wary because the app can access the SMS (text message
records) in the phone, but the creators say the data is only
being used currently within the study project itself. »
