Measuring What Matters: Mental & Behavioral Health at Scale

We design digital experiences that promote mental wellness, strengthen family relationships, and support measurable behavioral outcomes. Through research-backed content and ethical technology, we’re building a system that delivers meaningful impact, especially for underserved and vulnerable populations.

The Vision

Our goal is to demonstrate that media when designed ethically, can be a powerful tool for prevention, regulation, and connection.

We focus on:

  • Designing content to support emotional development and caregiver-child relationships.

  • Measuring outcomes related to stress, focus, co-regulation, and social-emotional growth.

  • Embedding tools that help families reflect, play, and grow together.

Research Priorities

We partner with hospitals, universities, and clinicians to study how emotionally intelligent media can improve outcomes across early childhood and beyond.

Focus Areas:

  • Co-viewing, emotional literacy, caregiver-child bonding.

  • Interactive media designed to reduce isolation and support mental wellness.

  • Structured co-viewing and sensory-aligned interaction.

  • Narrative tools for trust, safety, and emotional rebuilding.

  • Bedtime content grounded in behavioral sleep science.

Our Research Framework

Our approach combines behavioral science with emerging biometric validation to track media's impact across home, school, and healthcare settings.

We measure:

  • Emotional regulation, mentalization, and engagement.

  • Co-regulation and family relational health.

  • Stress indicators (HRV, cortisol), attention, calm, and more.

These metrics create a continuous feedback loop to improve both content and technology.

Partner

We’re actively seeking collaborators to co-design pilots, validate outcomes, and scale research-backed media.

Whether you're a funder, academic team, healthcare provider, or content studio — we welcome partners ready to help shape a healthier digital future for families.

What We’re Tracking Now

While formal clinical studies are in development, our pilots are already generating actionable insights.

Early indicators include:

  • Co-viewing engagement and caregiver feedback

  • Emotional and behavioral trends from users

  • Retention and adoption across diverse households

  • Signals of reduced stress and improved digital literacy

As we scale, we’ll publish transparent findings to inform public health, education, and creative media fields.
