This pandemic has made us realise the unprecedented need to actively address every student’s mental wellbeing. This becomes even more critical as Gen Z and Millennials are 3–4x more prone to stress and anxiety.¹

We need to accept that mental health is important for all of us, and not just for the 15%² of the population that may need clinical care from time to time. The balance 85% of the students also need support to deal with their day to day stress and anxiety. A healthy mind is a productive mind.

Imagine mental fitness being as easy as getting 10,000 steps for physical fitness.

This is where Joye comes in to transform day to day mental health, just as the ease of 10,000 steps revolutionised physical fitness a decade ago.

Easy lifestyle UX to make mental fitness a habit — created with extensive design thinking effort

Speak your mind and our context sensitive nudges will keep you positive and productive amidst your emotional flux. Joye is the world’s first voice-enabled user experience to weave mental health into everyone’s digital lifestyle. Joye’s AI is trained to recognise typical day to day situations, and will guide the student with proven positive psychology coaching in a secure and easy digital experience. These nudges include mood analytics, behaviour tips, podcasts and mindfulness audios.

The mind of the student is the key to their motivation, creativity and productivity. Joye’s AI will understand the student’s mind and then provide the right care at the right time. Imagine when a student expresses anxiety about her performance, one of the nudges she may receive is the suggestion to calm down and be more confident by reflecting on her strengths and past successes, rather than be negative by thinking about failure. Even better, if this is a recorded personal message from the head of the school⁶!

In the matters of the mind, most times it is all about the timing of the care. Joye’s AI is trained to provide right care at the right time, and motivate the students at scale.

You can smoothly embed Joye as-a-service into your existing student engagement platform which students tend to visit most often. Example: in the schools’s video conferencing platform, or in the calendar, or in the learning app. This embedded placement approach builds the culture of mental fitness, by encouraging to ‘seek and get the care’ as part of the digital lifestyle. Joye is also available as a standalone mobile app.

In parallel, we also consolidate anonymised sentiment analytics. This helps management to be more responsive to the student’s emotional needs, especially when many of them are working remotely. Our people analytics follow GDPR privacy guidelines, and are consolidated only at the top levels of the school.

New insights for the new normal — anonymised GDPR compliant daily sentiment analytics

Joye is a B2B SaaS platform and is available for enterprise deployment globally. We are also partnering with leading collaboration and learning management companies to embed Joye in their platforms and bring mental fitness to their clients.
