Code Computerlove has worked with the BBC on a new digital wellbeing app designed to help young people when using mobile phones.
The first-of-its-kind app, called Own It, is part of the BBC’s commitment to supporting young people in today’s changing digital environment.
Using a combination of self-reporting and machine learning, the app builds up a picture of a child’s digital wellbeing and serves relevant content, information and interventions designed to help them understand the impact that their online behaviours can have on themselves, and on others.
The app was the result of a collaborative design sprint process between Code and the BBC team.
Features include a sentiment analysis keyboard, which detects the sentiment of messages and interjects with helpful advice to prevent negativity or bullying.
