Hollo

Hong Kong

Project Overview
Hollo envisions a future of tech-based, accessible, and comprehensive personal health management tools. As a Smart AI-Powered Preventative platform, Hollo aims at improving the mental health of individuals by integrating Machine Learning with suggestive diagnosis, therapy, and continual monitoring, facilitating self-help and professional therapeutic services. By reducing the need for additional technology (wearables), we make this new tracking technology accessible for less privileged communities in the world. We hold two value propositions close to our hearts. We equip those finding stress points or symtoms of mental illness in their lives with a quantitative solution to help track their 

mental

health through different metrics like sleep quality, heart rate, stress, and social media sentiment. We aim to continue to improve our research in collaboration with research departments from universities around the world. As a platform, Hollo also equips therapists (and their NGOs), who don’t have consistent, quality patient feedback to aid retentive treatment, with a back-end webapp equipped with empirical and actionable findings on their patients; using the data analysis to enhance time efficiency, and construct predictive models. Streamlining admin services and improving the screening processes for institutions to reach out to at-risk individuals.
