The "Left-Behind" Children

Primary users include "left-behind" children and their parents while secondary users encompass families needing child interaction support. Left-behind children aged 0-17 experience prolonged parent absence due to work-related travel, leading to challenges in integration, mental health, and strained family relationships.
CHALLENGE

In 2020, China had 71.09 million migrant children and 66.93 million left-behind children, affecting 138 million children (46.4% of the total child population) due to population migration. The lack of accompanying, support, and communication from parents makes them feel abandoned by the parents, and they have difficulty integrating into society, bringing severe mental health.
FUNCTION 1
Joy For Kids
Beyond communication, it serves as an absolute YOYO ball, sparking joy and sustained interest for 0-17 left-behind children. It functions as a table stand, doubling as a time machine. A health sensor on the back of YOYO collects diverse metrics like heart rate and stress level.
FUNCTION 2
Health Tracking
Compared to existing solutions, our approach integrates advanced AI, voice technology, health sensors, and children's preferences for comprehensive, personalized support, enhancing the well-being of left-behind children.

The health sensor collects comprehensive data, analyzed by the YOYO application, offering personalized health suggestions. YOYO's AI assistant utilizes specific children's data for customized health and relationship recommendations.
FUNCTION 3
Contact & Connection
YOYO's real-time voice messaging facilitates constant parent-child communication. The health sensor collects comprehensive data, analyzed by the YOYO application, offering personalized health suggestions.
FUNCTION 4
AI Support
AI assistant can not only provide customized health questions, but can also provide personalized support including birthday gifts reminds, mental health suggestions, even teach parents how to write a “love you” letter.

AI assistant synthesizes this data for personalized evaluations and health suggestions, enhancing its multifaceted utility for children's well-being.
