The working prototype monitors typing speed, punctuation, phone movements and sentiments in general in email and text messages. The data-encrypted app only saves the way messages were typed, and not the content. So far Keymochi has a success rate of 82% based on the developers' emotional data. In the future, the team hopes the smart keyboard app will also be able to analyze home environment factors and have facial recognition capabilities. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 47% | Activity: 82% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Emotion-predicting Technology:** Businesses can utilize this technology to develop personalized and empathetic customer service experiences. - **Affective Computing:** This innovative technology can be used to monitor and analyze human emotions to enhance customer care and healthcare. - **Facial Recognition:** Keymochi's planned facial recognition capabilities could provide even more accurate emotional analysis for commercial and healthcare purposes. ### Who This Affects Most - **Customer Service:** Customer service industries can leverage Keymochi's unique technology to develop more personalized and empathetic experiences for customers. - **Healthcare:** The affective computing technology behind Keymochi can be utilized to monitor and analyze patients' emotional states in healthcare settings. - **Artificial Intelligence:** Keymochi exemplifies the disruptive potential of AI in analyzing and predicting human emotions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Emotion-Driven Messaging Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emochat.md) - [Emoji-Based Mood Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moodtrack.md) - [Mood Insight Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mood-insight.md) - [Emotional Subtitle Smartwatch Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-watch-app.md) - [Emotional Support Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emotitalk.md) - [Japanese AI Journaling Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/muute.md) - [Chatbot-Equipped Mobile Keyboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swiftkey-chatbot.md) - [Mental Health Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deepkeys.md) - [Emotional Tracker Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/feel-like.md)
