Participatory Design for Mental Health Data Visualization on a Social Robot (2210.06469v1)

Abstract: The intersection of data visualization and human-robot interaction (HRI) is a burgeoning field. Understanding, communicating, and processing different kinds of data for creating versatile visualizations can benefit HRI. Conversely, expressing different kinds of data generated from HRI through effective visualizations can provide interesting insights. Our work adds to the literature of this growing domain. In this paper, we present our exploratory work on visualizing mental health data on a social robot. Particularly, we discuss development of mental health data visualizations using a participatory design (PD) approach. As a first step with mental health data visualization on a social robot, this work paves the way for relevant further work and using social robots as data visualization tools.
