Chloe Meineck, Social Designer and Aidan Moseby, Artist - come together to talk about their project Weather Report, a tool for mapping peoples inner weather, mental health and wellbeing. Chloe will discuss her current research as an Automation Fellow with South West Creative Technology Network where she has been researching how people want to monitor and track their mental health and wellbeing now and in the future and any challenges around this.

Chloe has been collaborating with Aidan to come up with the project, 'Weather Report,' a physical and visual way to monitor / track peoples inner weather for themselves. The project particularly seeks to address challenges around mental health of older men who are at risk of taking their own lives. The talk will cover both of the artists background, which led to the project. The talk itself will involve a practical element for the audience to think about their own mental health and wellbeing and the Chloe and Aidan are hopeful this feedback will support the future of, 'Weather Report'.
