Summary:
UNICEF reported that Japan ranked among the bottom forchildren’s mental well-being. The Japanese educational andchild support sectors have long been struggling with staffshortage and a lack of sufficient expertise, making it extremelydifficult to adequately support the development of diversechildren.
Our project will address this national challenge with thedevelopment of the Well-Being Base (WeBB), a platform of datautilization technologies designed to monitor, identify and supportthe individual child’s unique developmental and well-being needs.
The WeBB consists of three main components:
(1) multisensing technology, which elucidates children's developmentand well-being needs, even some of those needs childrenthemselves may not be aware of,
(2) higher-order dataintegration algorithms, which automatically evaluate andestimate children's individuality and well-being in real-time, and
(3) a suite of child support protocols, which provides tailoredsupport to meet children’s individualized developmental andwell-being needs.
