Abstract

This paper presents a preliminary design and development of a novel wristband connected to a mobile application to enhance social interaction among children aged 7-12 years who struggle with expressing themselves in group settings. Targeting pedagogical environments, the wristband can facilitate structured group discussions by allowing teachers to set parameters such as time limits via the app. Each child involved in the group discussion would wear an individual wristband, receiving notifications according to the set parameters. The system not only aids teachers in managing inclusive classroom discussions but also benefits parents by providing valuable insights into their child's social development. Moreover, it helps children build communication skills and confidence during group interactions. This innovative technology has the potential to positively impact educational settings by fostering inclusive happiness and a supportive environment for children's social and cognitive growth. © 2024 Owner/Author.
