We provide children and youth with a safe, social space to help them join a community of peers while offering them group therapy services at an affordable price.
It is well known that most mental illnesses have their root in childhood. However, a significant number of children worldwide do not receive the support they need mainly due to financial issues, lack of accessibility, and social stigmas surrounding mental health issues. If left undiagnosed and untreated, children’s mental problems may become chronic and lead to more severe disorders disrupting their entire life later.
Furthermore, mental health issues have drastically risen ever since the Covid-19 outbreak with the widespread social isolation imposed by lockdowns. Currently, “suicide” is the second major cause of death in teenagers in North America. Consequently, it is vital to constantly screen our children and youth’s mental health and seek help before it is too late.
To enhance children and youth’s mental health status and help them lead happier lives, we have developed an AI-based gamified social platform that offers group therapy sessions for those between the ages of 5-17. A certified counselor with experience in child psychology oversees each session, encourages them to interact with each other through having group discussions or doing play therapy activities, and teaches them healthy coping mechanisms
Our Emotional AI works as an assistive diagnostic tool that provides counselors and caretakers with a comprehensive, analytical report of the child’s mental health status across multiple sessions to enable a more accurate diagnosis. It would also alert caretakers to seek further treatment if necessary. Also, offering a gamified, safe atmosphere helps motivate children and youth to show up more enthusiastically and communicate with other members more collaboratively.
Our app uses a wide range of visual, auditory, and lingual cues, along with general psychiatric indicators to assess the children’s mental health status across multiple sessions.
Our Emotional AI analyzes visual inputs, including body gestures and facial expressions, to understand emotions expressed.
Speech rate, frequency, pitch, and loudness, among other speech patterns, are also monitored to evaluate the user’s emotional state.
We have also trained our AI to update its assessments to detect any apparent mental health issues based on certain trigger words.
Our AI model ensures a consistent mental health assessment of the child and their progress throughout multiple sessions with different counselors.
All users, including kids, caretakers, and counselors need to install the app on their smart gadgets to use the service provided.
The sessions are suggested based on the kid’s information, with similar peers picked at random through the same process.
All children engage in an icebreaker game initiated by the assigned counselor to improve intimacy, teamwork, and collaboration.
The AI-based platform would then provide the caretakers as well as the counselor with a comprehensive report on the wellbeing of the child.
The caretaker goes through a registration process providing details about the kid including age, mental health and any behavioral problems.
The child/youth joins the group therapy room booked before and gets to introduce themselves for a couple of minutes.
Depending on the age group and other behavioral patterns, the session would then move toward either discussions or play therapies.
Based on the analytical reports throughout multiple sessions, caretakers can take the necessary action if any serious mental problem is detected.
