A Spotify-based system for promoting the wellbeing

Abstract

Different mobile applications and smart systems are being developed to increase users’ wellness and happiness. Unfortunately, some of the most recent technological advances in the field of affective computing, Internet of things or service computing have not yet been included in these solutions. In this paper, we briefly present a smart system that analyses the user’s emotions during her/his diary activities and configures mood regulation experiences when she/he comes back at home. These emotion-aware experiences are based on the Spotify music services and are personalised for each particular user considering her/his musical tastes and preferences. Besides, the system integrates an emotion recognition system based on wearables and artificial intelligence techniques. The recognised emotions are then used to determine the user’s mood and to make decisions on the music interventions to be carried out.
