That's all I need....a computer telling me I'm depressed.

I hope people develop apps that use this software, combined with flashcards of motivational and kind phrases, and an algorithm that can detect what phrases triggers the most consistent happy expressions. So every morning kids and adults can look at their computer, tablet or phone and get a dose of positive regard. A lot of people are starved of positive regard, encouragement and kind words growing up, and even into adulthood. I think this tech would be a great substitute, and perhaps could help heal some of the emotionally damaged people of the world. I wonder if Kristen Neff would be interested in developing something like that, using her self compassion research.
