BULLiAID
A multi-funcitonal solution to support bullied kids
Bullying remains a widespread issue in schools today, leaving
many parents and teachers unsure of how to support affected
students. Bullying can occur subtly in various locations, making
detection and intervention challenging. As children in these
situations grapple with emotional pain and fear, understanding
the root causes of the bullying and providing assistance can be
complex.
BULLiAID is an innovative solution designed
to address this problem head-on. It features a cutting-edge
device that simultaneously records voice and monitors heart
rate, providing real-time data to illuminate the situation as it
unfolds. This wearable technology also includes an emergency
response mechanism. When forcibly removed or when a child
experiences extreme fear, the device triggers a loud alarm and
sends notifications to designated individuals, summoning
immediate help.

The problem
When Bullying Goes Unaddressed
An Ministry of Health and Welfare (MOHW) investigation in Taiwan reveals alarming statistics: 66.4% of students experience school bullying, yet over 60% choose not to intervene. Over 50% of these incidents happen during commutes or after school.
Parents Struggle to Offer Assistance
In today's hectic world, parents, even when aware of bullying, struggle to assist. While teachers can step in, they can't provide round-the-clock protection. According to CommonWealth Magazine, effective resolution often involves listening, communicating, and guiding the child.
Solution
Recording, Monitoring, and Immediate Notification
A significant number of bullied students choose not to inform their parents and endure the situation silently, contributing to the persistence and difficulty in preventing school bullying. It is imperative that we take steps to safeguard bullied students while also establishing improved channels for teachers to offer counseling and support to the victims.
