Digital Art Therapy with Gen AI: Mind Palette

Proper and delightful intervention can reduce the progression of mental disorders, but numerous physical and psychological barriers continue to exist. In response, we developed a mobile application called "Mind Palette", which incorporates art therapy methodologies and generative AI technology. This application aims to address the need for comprehensive interventions in the mental health crisis, particularly among younger age groups. With AI chatbot interactions and AI-generated artwork recommendations, the application may facilitate discussions about emotions, encourage self-expression through art creation, and provide cognitive-behavioral therapeutic advice in both verbal and visual ways. The project highlights the human-centered approach and investigates the potential of generative AI as an effective agent for conducting art therapy.
