FlavorCharter
> FlavorCharter introduces a data-driven research framework composed of a mobile platform for crowd-sourced sensory data collection and an interactive visualization environment for exploratory analysis. This integrated system bridges data acquisition and visual reasoning, enabling both large-scale collection and interpretability of flavor perception data. This symptoms in a more precise, standardized language.

[ KEY CONTRIBUTIONS ]
- Designed and delivered FlavorCharter as an integrated, data-driven framework that bridges crowd-sourced sensory data collection and interactive visual reasoning, supporting large-scale acquisition while keeping flavor perception data interpretable.
- Developed the mobile data-collection platform to reliably capture structured taste-perception inputs at scale, with secure user flows and cloud persistence to enable consistent longitudinal and cross-user analysis.
- Built the interactive visualization environment for exploratory analysis, enabling comparison and interpretation of multivariate flavor profiles to help document taste loss and support a more precise, standardized way for patients to describe symptoms.
