Problem
Current methods for pediatric mental health screening often rely on outdated tools that fail to engage children and may not effectively identify underlying issues in a timely manner. Traditional screening processes can be time-consuming for healthcare providers and may not capture the full scope of a child's emotional and psychological well-being. This can lead to delayed intervention and poorer outcomes for children struggling with mental health conditions.
Solution
FuturesTHRIVE offers tScreen™ and TweenScreen™, AI-powered, game-based platforms designed to improve early detection of mental health concerns in children aged 5-16. These tools use engaging game mechanics to assess a range of factors, including anxiety, depression, relationships, routines, and overall functioning at home, school, and with peers. The platforms capture both Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and Positive Childhood Experiences (PCEs), providing a comprehensive view of a child's mental health landscape. By minimizing administration time and maximizing engagement, futuresTHRIVE aims to streamline the screening process, enabling earlier intervention and support for at-risk youth.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes healthcare providers (pediatricians, psychologists), educators (school counselors, administrators), and parents seeking accessible and effective mental health screening tools for children and adolescents.
