The Problem

The global pandemic has put a lot of restrictions on certain aspects of life. For children especially, the pandemic has not only affected their social lives but their schooling as well. These changes may be hard to understand and can have a drastic effect on their development as they grow up. Parents and teachers of these children can find it hard to understand how the child is feeling, and might find it even harder to have the child talk about their feelings.

The Solution

Our product, Helping Hand, would provide a fun and interactive watch and application to help parents and teachers track the heart rate/emotions of their child while in school. The purpose is to know when a child is feeling upset so that the issue may be resolved, and their mental health will be improved.
