Addressing Focus and Attention Challenges
Challenges with focus and attention are common among both children and adults, severely impacting a person’s ability to plan tasks, complete work, and finish tasks. For children, limited concentration can inhibit their educational, social and emotional development. The collaboration reflects a shared commitment to promote innovation and create inclusive and accessible solutions for people facing challenges related to focus and attention. Revibe offers users, families, educators, and clinicians an easy-to-use dashboard that visualizes progress in near real-time, facilitating personalized support in the classroom and beyond.
AI and security: the power of the Galaxy Watch7 platform
Revibe works as a discreet, real-time tool that tracks key behaviors, including on-task behavior, fidgeting, work completion, and exercise. By leveraging AI, the platform translates real-time behavioral data into actionable insights, equipping users and professionals with data-driven pathways to improve focus. The solution combines Pearson’s proprietary care-enhancing software with the Galaxy Watch7 hardware and security platform.
Key technological features of the collaboration include:
- Learning engine: Revibe uses artificial intelligence and advanced algorithms to learn each user’s behavioral patterns, including attention span, restlessness, steps, and calories burned.
- Custom alerts: Vibrating alerts bring the user back to task and reinforce executive function. On-screen “lightbulb moments” provide guidance without disturbing others.
- Safe and distraction-free: The platform uses Samsung’s Knox mobile security platform and standalone mode. Standalone mode is particularly important for kids, as it eliminates smartphone distractions by allowing the Galaxy Watch to work independently, a necessary feature since many schools don’t allow kids to carry phones. Kiosk mode also ensures that the watch focuses solely on the Revibe app.
Rich Brancaccio, senior director and founder of Revibe at Pearson, said the Galaxy Watch was selected because it offered the ideal balance of a low-distraction interface, longer battery life and secure data collection capabilities to help people reach their full potential. The partnership will begin with the Samsung Galaxy Watch7 series and is expected to expand to additional Samsung devices.
