Body Mapping Tool

The Body Mapping Tool is an engaging way to communicate and track physical feeling (pain/pleasure, emotion/mood) to facilitators, managers, medical doctors, sports coaches, nutritionists, psychological therapists. It aggregates individual and group experiences to support analysis, empathy and team bonding. The journey to emotional self-awareness can be engaging, smart and shareable.

I was particularly drawn to this project because of its potential to create positive growth in a range of spheres, from art to psychology to organisations. At the beginning I guided Orlagh on the choice of technologies to balance cost and extensibility, and proposed agile methodologies to maximise steering power based on user group feedback. We went with a client-server application running on Amazon Web Services. The client app is written in ReactJS and the server in node.js. The UI framework is SemanticUI.
