Participants Needed - Curtin University: Using Art to Monitor Mood in Bipolar Disorder
This focus group is part of a larger study that aims to develop an art-based mood monitoring method (MMMET) to help individuals living with persistent problematic mood swings, particularly bipolar disorder, better manage their symptoms and mood. Monitoring mood fluctuation over time is key to maintaining a stable mood and improving quality of life. However, most people find that the monitoring methods available today do not meet their needs, especially in the long term.
This project will involve you as an individual who has lived experience of bipolar disorder or problematic mood swings joining a 90-minute focus group in 2024. Our strategy involves collaborating with individuals with lived experience to co-design the first prototype of the MMMET, which will then be tested in a pilot study. During the focus group, we will ask for your feedback on the methods and tools, such as the mood assessment measures we will use. By doing this, we will develop the MMMET as a tool that is relevant and meet the needs of the people it is designed to help directly.

This is a really interesting approach to improving how mood changes are monitored in people living with bipolar disorder. I especially like that the Curtin University project is not simply developing another monitoring tool, but is involving people with lived experience in the co-design process. That kind of direct feedback can make a significant difference because traditional mood journals and monitoring methods may become difficult or tiring to maintain over time. Using art as a way to express and track changes in mood could provide a more personal and engaging alternative while helping researchers understand what actually works in everyday life. It is also encouraging to see the researchers planning to test the prototype after gathering participant feedback. For students…
It's encouraging to see research exploring innovative, art-based approaches to mood monitoring for people living with bipolar disorder. Co-designing tools with individuals who have lived experience is such an important step toward creating meaningful solutions. Just as research benefits from thoughtful participant feedback, Content Moderation Services help ensure online mental health communities remain safe, supportive, and respectful spaces where people can engage with confidence.
