Due to COVID-19 outbreak, Children have a hard time dealing with a sudden change of daily routines including the decrease time of normal social lives and the increase time of screen learning for having lessons. Children can be interfered with their sense of structure, predictability and security. Children may also be at risk to have trauma, mental, physical or developmental problems. That working parents or under-educated parents may not have time to monitor their children's learning and take good care of their kids' emotional concerns.  

To balance the risk of mental health deterioration, our concern is to treat school-aged children who experienced in deterioration in mental health problems, including depressions (37.6 %), anxiety (38.7%), irritability (40.5%) and attention span (40.8%).

I am proposing a platform that provides speech and behaviour analysis to detect children abnormality in their learning. This is a platform connects with psychologists, counsellors and therapists to provide proper psychological analysis on their emotions and social skills as an early intervention. The solution provides a one on one consultation via chatbot or real-time  app for their initial contact with the clients or targeted family, for the initial screening or basic assessment. 

The solution can provide early intervention regardless of the locations and the receiver's end financial status. 

Pitch the need of having the solution : 

You know better than how your child’s life has been impacted by covid 19 and although kids are remarkably resilient. Many are struggling to adjust the changes. This is only natural. The routines that once gave them a sense of control have been erased. Their classrooms have become computer screens. Their friendships put on pause. It is understandable they might feel irritable frustrated or sad sometimes. Loneliness, confusion and anxiety are also common but as a parent, how do you know if your child’s emotions are a normal reaction to an abnormal situation? Or if what you are seeing are signs of more significant mental health challenges. 

At Lexisbeaucoup.com, we have resources and experts that address and analyse your child’s mental health needs including free mental health assessment and 1 on 1 consultation as the initial screening. This provides you possible solutions from the professional help. 

We should place concerns on children’s mental health around the globe, particularly during and after the Covid 19 pandemic. 

According to the World Health Organisation, 10 to 20 percent of children and young people worldwide experience mental disorders, e.g social isolation, anxiety and shortened attention span. In Hong Kong, the number of patients aged below 18 who have mental illness has rapidly increased in recent years, from 28,800 cases in 2015 to 39,700 in 2019. And this phenomenon shares among different major asian countries, such as China, Thailand and Japan or even other european countries e.g. France and Italy.  Prolonged closures of schools and public facilities around different countries, e.g. US and the UK, for children have also compounded the existing mental health problems that children and young people are faced with, further deteriorating their health and well-being.  It shows the need of connecting psychological, mental and school experts to diagnose if there are any negative changes in their mental health during the school closures and class suspension period. 

Where the resources of developed and developing countries can vary, the platform has its function into connecting and leveraging the experts' knowledge from the more developed countries to the less developed countries. It provides an equal opportunity to redistribute the existing resources to the less developed through technology. The several kinds of technology involves in different stages of therapy : Before the treatment, the diagnosis occurs online with the help of chatbot or real time face-to-face detection that can analyse the children or youngsters' emotions via texts, audio or facial expressions through machine learning. During the treatment, the talk therapy provided by counsellors and psychologist can happen online, with the companion of parents.  VR technology acts as an subordinating therapeutic tool to visualise or re-create a positive feeling towards normal social life via the well-designed atmosphere projected. 

A trained chatbot or digital report embedded or along with the website can provide monitoring functions to a child's mental health and overall learning abilities from time to time. 

The target population that I will first serve as the initial stage is the children and youngsters living in Hong Kong as a pilot stage. The solution will actually address their needs during the pandemic, particularly to children from low income family. Understanding their mental health via initial screening from chatbot and the survey on school communities and parent groups.

 The solution can impact their lives positively with the increased accessibility for professional advice and lower the cost of following up procedures with the help of apps and written digital reports. It has broken the barriers in families afraid of seeking mental assistance in the first place whenever they suspect the children who might struggle from schools or suffer from mental problems. 

The tech tools as a form of transformative experience to the therapeutic analysis has enabled the chances for people living with different locations, different financial status and different resources availability that come together in solving the mental health of the younger generation locally. 

My solution is aligned with the mental health of learners, however it is not limited to violence and migrating cyberbully. Rather it is more on the preventive measure for any mental health crisis and the counterforce towards the potential instability of the younger generation's health. 

The accurate phase of the platform created up until now is from prototype working up towards the pilot stage. That will be testing the possible responses to the target groups for the next 3 months. And it will come to a growing stage after half a year with enough data to analyse the major mental problems the actual target groups may actually suffer with. The pilot scheme will run through promoting our ideas to government and aided schools in Hong Kong that it may trigger their concerns towards the increase risk towards the next generation during and after the pandemic. The number of population is estimated to be serving as 301073 students from 455 public sector primary schools and 256126 students for 392 secondary schools, meaning in total of 56 thousand of population, according to the statistics of Education Bureau of Hong Kong. 

The improved approach of the problem is the solution breaks down into different stages of mental health treatment and for the different stages, we enable the solution designed with technology, such as website membership functions,digital reports, chatbots/chatapps for initial screening, facial recognition via machine learning and VR technology on therapy. This allows us to rethink, reimagine and optimise the use of technology, at the same time, it can leverage the specialist's expertise knowledge from the more developed countries to the less developed ones. 

The innovation lies on the help of technology enables the facial recognition to detect the subtle change of emotions while the children are talking causally because some children may not be able to express the discomfort or have difficulties describing their emotions in a more effective way. The scientific approach into believing a quick detection for mental health cases which requires help can be identified in an earlier stage than normal cases. 

VR technology is very useful in treating anxiety and phobia, research finds. By recreating their children's belief with the graphics, the cost is a lot lower than talk therapy from mental health professionals if the case is mild and early detected. 

The first stage of the solution progress is to gain recognition among the parents and the global community. By collecting the mailing lists and visitors to our website as an indicators for the success of promotion as a long run. It measures our success with the app creation and how responsive the website enable the turnover rate of interested parties and the participants at the first trial scheme. 

3 full time staff, one for management, one for marketing and one for technical head plus 10 student volunteers.

Our strong mission emphasises equity on shared resources for families from different background, enabling the chances of receiving proper treatment to be shared among different economic groups, even for the low income families. Second, most education organizations like us believe in the importance of diversity. Our long term goal is to minimise the gap between the wealth and shared resources particularly on the chances of treatment. 

Consider the same mission of our company's goal, when choosing our team members, we are free from racism and gender preference. We agree on the true nature of coexistent culture among diverse background of staff across geography, race, gender, sector, technical expertise, and more.

Solve can help promote the organisation at the first place and align with people who share the same potential mindset towards solving mental health crisis after covid 19. Becoming a solve is not an option - it is a must to join this challenge to draw people's attention toward this immediate issue and potential risks without building something from today. 

Second, if my solution is selected, I would be able to receive the first funding to run the organisation and keep it sustainable by hiring more people and evolving the technology on a new application as planned and mentioned. It may take time to gain recognition, but by solving the global challenge, people are introduced naturally to the new concepts on a more profound way that has once been read and shared among interested parties. 

Third, the possible barriers can be overcome with sufficient time and funds. This need the first round of funding to start a more in-dept research and tentative trial plans. The more stable the technology into testing before it invents, the better outcome it could and certainly, more persuasive and trusted by the general public in a long run.

The ASA Prize for Equitable Education to advance my solution for gaining recognition, increasing funding for sustainability and aligning with the same belief on equitable education. 

The solution is qualify for the prize by aligning with the global challenge goal on concerning to provide equal opportunities to every child. This draws attention to advancing technology for a better application on therapeutic use and the advanced technology is uncommon and finding a new combination mode of furthering each kind of technology can be relevant and unique in the market. We should not neglect the effectiveness of using human (ie mental health professionals) and non-human approach (machine learning, chatbot) to address a specific problem.

My solution involves the new application of an existing technology, including the following: 1) Face recognition via Artificial Intelligence 2) VR technology as a therapy usage 3) A more responsive and interactive platform/app that connects. 

1) Face recognition via Artificial Intelligence - the face recognition and emotion recognition algorithms to monitor the changing/overall emotions of children. To gather more detailed information from faces, gestures and contexts as the first step during the pilot stage, face annotation is performed on the dataset. 

2) V R technology as therapy use - Help young children to identify and change unhealthy thoughts and train them to adjust easily for challenging situations. And proven by research that CBT combined with virtual reality therapy is more effective than to use CBT itself alone. 

3) A more responsive and interactive platform/app that connects specialists with the potential children/teenagers in need. The better design on website can improve User Experience to connect with specialists easily and retain the digital reports on the treatment progress from each real time consultation with a specialist.

And all these technology tools and researches require funding to support and be improved from time to time.
