Paper Abstract:
|
In this paper we describe the development of a sonification system to represent time-dependent data. The systems aim is to support therapists of anorexic young women to analyze questionnaires filled in by their patients. The mapping we adopted was suggested by the therapists and reflects the mood of the variables we used in the sonification (e.g. depression). Our main questions were, whether sonification is applicable in this context, whether the mapping we chose was appropriate and whether users get an overall impression of the patients development. The results of this pilot study indicates that our approach is promising. |
