What this trial studies
This study examines the effects of an interactive digital application that features impressionist artworks to enhance mental well-being among young and older adults. The application allows users to engage with paintings by Claude Monet and Helen McNicoll, utilizing artificial intelligence to create music based on plant signals. The research focuses on usability and accessibility, particularly for older adults who may face sensory impairments and lower digital literacy. Key research questions include user behaviors, feedback, obstacles to use, and user expectations.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 and older who can understand spoken and written French and do not have psychiatric or cognitive disorders.
Not a fit: Patients with moderate to severe visual or auditory impairments may not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this application could significantly enhance mental well-being for both young and older adults through engaging artistic experiences.
How similar studies have performed: While the use of digital art for mental well-being is an emerging field, similar studies have shown promising results in enhancing emotional health through interactive experiences.
