Through a close collaboration with art therapists and AI & HCI researchers, high-quality research has been conducted to develop an AI-based support system for art therapy.
Research Goal
Our main research goal is to develop an AI-based support system for art therapy. For this purpose, we develop systems ranging from expert support systems for alleviating the workload of art therapists to education support systems for training novice art therapists. In addition, through art therapy systems designed for the general public, we aim to contribute to societal mental health care.
