Mesageria vocală în timp real permite copiilor și părinților să comunice la distanță. Un senzor tactil amplasat în partea din spate colectează date despre sănătate, precum ritmul cardiac și nivelul de stres. Dispozitivul funcționează, de asemenea, ca suport de masă. Aplicația destinată părinților oferă informații și sprijin bazate pe inteligență artificială.

Production Technology: Yoyo product meets left-behind children's unique needs, fostering mental health and enhancing parent-child bonds. It offers instant communication, personalized health insights, and AI-driven support through features like real-time voice messaging, health sensors, and an AI assistant. Yoyo includes a kid's product and a parent app, serving as a communication tool and a joyous plaything with a real Yoyo ball. Compared to existing solutions, Yoyo's approach integrates advanced AI, voice technology, health sensors, and children's preferences for comprehensive, personalized support, enhancing the well-being of left-behind children.
Design Challenge: Handling Ambiguity: Language is inherently ambiguous, and understanding context accurately can be challenging. Resolving ambiguity accurately is key to providing relevant and useful responses.

Ethical Considerations: Ensuring that the responses generated are ethical and aligned with societal norms is essential. This involves continually refining and updating the model to mitigate potential biases and promote responsible usage.

Continual Improvement: Striving for continual improvement is integral to enhancing the model's capabilities. This involves analyzing user interactions, feedback, and emerging trends to refine the model's performance.

Resource Management: Optimizing resource usage, such as memory and processing power, is crucial for scalability and efficiency.
Research: 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.

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.

Operation Flow: Yoyo targets challenges in environments with time-strapped parents, mitigating potential mental health issues in children. Yoyo aims to support parents, nurture relationships, and ensure optimal care for each child's well-being.
Yoyo device: Beyond communication, the Yoyo device is 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.
Yoyo’s mobile APP: 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.
