Background
Cyborgization brings issues with malfunctions when one subject has multiple implants. As a result, subjects face the possibility of going berserk, lose consciousness. Subsequently, showing aggressive behavior towards pedestrians.
In year 2057, increased civilian casualty due to cyborg implants malfunction has been the top cause behind social instability.
Concept
This project is an app that monitors psychological stability to express concern regarding surveillance and ownership of data.
As we move into the age of "numerical everything," it has been accessible for users to check and monitor the numerical value of their daily routine, such as steps walked, how many calories burned, pulse per second.
However, what if we can translate psychological stability into numerical values and monitor its patterns and changes 24 7? Furthermore, with the acquired data, will there be a new marketing strategy promoting places only for stable psychological patterns? Along with the data obtained, will this index data be used to prevent crime since there might be a possible pattern change when one is about to commit a crime?
"How's your psychological stability index?" might be the way we greet each other shortly.
Thus, in this work, I design a speculative app that translates users' psychological stability into numerical values while monitoring.
I sincerely hope this piece will never come true and remain a speculative work forever.
