Emotion AI finds its true value when integrated into real-world applications that improve human wellbeing, learning, and experiences.
Phase 4 provides integration guidelines for deploying Emotion AI in various domains. Each domain has specific requirements, ethical considerations, and best practices.
| Domain | Primary Use Cases | Key Considerations |
|---|---|---|
| Healthcare | Mental health monitoring, therapy support | HIPAA, patient privacy, clinical validation |
| Education | Engagement detection, adaptive learning | Student privacy, parental consent, age-appropriate |
| Marketing | Ad testing, consumer research | Consent, transparency, data minimization |
| Automotive | Driver monitoring, safety alerts | Safety critical, real-time, regulatory compliance |
| Gaming/XR | Immersive experiences, NPC reactions | Privacy, user experience, opt-out |
Emotion AI can support mental health professionals in monitoring patient emotional states:
| Application | Emotion Signals | Clinical Use |
|---|---|---|
| Depression Screening | Low valence, flat affect, reduced AU activity | Early detection, treatment monitoring |
| Anxiety Detection | High arousal, fear patterns, voice tremor | Therapy session insight |
| PTSD Assessment | Fear responses, hypervigilance indicators | Trigger identification |
| Autism Support | Emotion expression patterns | Social skills training |

Ad Testing Workflow: 1. Participant Consent - Clear explanation of emotion tracking - Opt-in with granular controls 2. Viewing Session - Show advertisement(s) - Track emotional response timeline 3. Analysis - Peak emotion moments - Valence trajectory - Engagement duration 4. Reporting - Aggregate metrics only - No individual identification - Insights for creative optimization
| Metric | Description | Use |
|---|---|---|
| Emotional Peak | Moment of strongest emotional response | Key message placement |
| Emotional Arc | Valence trajectory over time | Narrative optimization |
| Engagement Score | Arousal Γ attention duration | Overall effectiveness |
| Smile Moment | AU12 activation timing | Humor/positivity testing |
| Confusion Index | AU4 frequency, negative signals | Message clarity |
| State | Detection Signals | System Response |
|---|---|---|
| Drowsiness | Eye closure, yawning (AU26+AU27), slow blinks | Audio alert, seat vibration, suggest break |
| Distraction | Gaze away from road, head turn | Visual warning, audio chime |
| Road Rage | Anger (AU4+AU7), high arousal | Calming audio, reduce stimulation |
| Medical Emergency | Sudden loss of expression, unresponsive | Emergency stop, call for help |

| Method | Pros | Cons | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weighted Average | Simple, interpretable | Fixed weights | General use |
| Confidence-based | Adapts to signal quality | Needs calibration | Variable conditions |
| Attention Mechanism | Learns optimal weights | Requires training | High accuracy |
| Rule-based | Explainable | Manual rules | Specific domains |
Healthcare (telehealth): Face (0.5) + Voice (0.4) + Text (0.1) - Face primary for non-verbal cues - Voice for emotional prosody - Text for context Education (online learning): Face (0.6) + Biosignal (0.4) - Face for engagement/confusion - Biosignal for cognitive load Customer Service (call center): Voice (0.5) + Text (0.5) - Voice for tone and stress - Text for sentiment and intent Automotive: Face (0.7) + Biosignal (0.3) - Face primary (drowsiness, distraction) - Biosignal for stress/fatigue
