At Web Summit Qatar, Yuri Divonos emphasized the urgent need for digital safety tools for children, highlighting alarming trends in mental health issues. With rising suicide rates among youth and increasing waits for mental health care, Divonos discussed Aura's innovative AI-powered solution aimed at providing parents deeper insights into their children's online lives. Unlike traditional parental controls that merely limit screen time, Aura focuses on understanding how children's social behavior, sleep patterns, and screen time contribute to their wellbeing, offering a more nuanced approach in a digital age.
"The suicide rate among kids is increasing at an alarming rate," Divonos explained during his conversation... Nearly half of all children have experienced depression or anxiety during their lifetime."
Aura's solution uses an always-on VPN and custom keyboard to monitor children's online behavior in a private, secure way. The system focuses on understanding three key dimensions of a child's wellbeing: social behavior, sleep patterns, and screen time.
