contents MoodCam introduces a novel method for assessing mood by utilizing facial affect analysis through the front-facing camera of smartphones during everyday activities. We collected facial behavior primitives during 15,995 real-world phone interactions involving 25 participants over four weeks. We developed three models for timely intervention: momentary, daily average, and next day average. Notably, our models exhibit AUC scores ranging from 0.58 to 0.64 for Valence and 0.60 to 0.63 for Arousal. These scores are comparable to or better than those from some previous studies. This predictive ability suggests that MoodCam can effectively forecast mood trends, providing valuable insights for timely interventions and resource planning in mental health management. The results are promising as they demonstrate the viability of using real-time and predictive mood analysis to aid in mental health interventions and potentially offer preemptive support during critical periods identified through mood trend shifts.
