Abstract
Low retention and limited public health impact remain persistent challenges for mobile health (mHealth) apps [MAD*22]. This study explores affective visualization as a solution, advocating for a post-cognitivist perspective in defining the future of affective design. This approach proposes that technology should not tell users what or how to act or think but instead respond to how human minds work. This framework could transform user communication through visualization, fostering positive behavioural changes. The study also highlights affective visualization as a nascent yet promising domain for future research [LWC23].
