    Research

    Goal-Setting Application Design in Supporting Mental Health with Dr. Elena Agapie
     

    There are plenty of Therapy apps on AppStore or GooglePlay intended to help users learn self-care techniques and improve their mental health. Many of them have some level of free content; however, since these apps are primarily commercial, there are also a lot of features that require paid subscriptions. As an advocate for therapy who uses mobile applications like Sanvello and Headspace, I knew right away I wanted to join this research project. Currently, I'm a member of a 3-person team tasked with mapping the design space for goal-setting mobile applications that implement Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) and Problem Solving Therapy (PST). My team and I are in progress of conducting formative research to gauge how therapists and patients collaborate in designing and implementing behavior goals. We intend to finish the research in the next month or so and write a Poster Paper containing our results.

      
    Developing an Angular Application for Tapering Dosages for Patients with Dr. Daniel Epstein
     

    Beginning of Winter Quarter of 2021, I joined the "Personal Informatics Everyday (PIE)" Development Lab at UC Irvine and took on learning how to use Angular and code in Typescript. Using my knowledge of HTML, CSS, and Javascript and my experience using REST API, I am now in charge of developing an application that will help Doctors and Patients collaborate in tapering medicine dosages over time. The goal beginning Spring Quarter is for me to convert a lot of Figma/Adobe XD screenshots to functional Angular applications using Ionic.

    Interests

    Apart from being a software developer, I enjoy most of my time being outdoors. I love hiking and finding new locations with great views. I'm a huge fan of photography as well as digital art. In my free time, I love to stay active in the gym or play basketball. When I'm inside, I enjoy playing video games, painting, and editing videos.

    My winters are dedicated to binging Netflix/Hulu in bed with a hot cup of cocoa. I am an aspiring chef and also love exploring the latest technological advancements. I live for the adreneline of watching and playing sports, especially basketball and volleyball. Finally, in the case I haven't made it obvious from my website design, my favorite color is DARK TEAL.
