Syndeo specialises in the application of forward-thinking artificial intelligence (A.I.) enabled customer communication solutions. The Innovate UK award recognises the potential of Syndeo’s innovative and ambitious solution that tackles the new educational needs that are emerging in the wake of the COVID-pandemic.
Leveraging Syndeo’s proprietorial A.I. technology, the solution will guide people through course materials whilst monitoring their emotional reactions and prompting them to utilise goal-setting activities and mindfulness exercises. With integration into Moodle, the world’s most popular learning management system, the Digital Wellbeing Coach will be fully configurable by the course moderator with health and wellbeing content tailored to the any particular course requirements. There is no limit on the potential use of the new platform across all levels of the education sector. Syndeo’s Digital Wellbeing Coach is being developed in partnership with Oxford Brookes University and the project will incorporate knowledge and insights from experts in Organisation Behaviour at Oxford Brookes. The solution will provide a largely automated and scalable solution whilst at the same time offering a completely personalised, on-line experience for participants to work on their goals whilst maintaining the highest levels of mental wellbeing.
Oliver Lennon, Syndeo’s CEO, commented: “We are proud to have been selected to receive this funding award which recognises the expertise of the Syndeo team and our ability to bring this innovative and unique offering to the market. We are excited to work with Oxford Brookes University, assisting the education sector and indeed commercial organisations in adjusting to the new normal as we emerge from the COVID-19 crisis. The education world has been changed by COVID-19 and it is vital that real time solutions are developed to accommodate the new educational reality.”Dr Christian Ehrlich, Senior Lecturer in Organisational Behaviour at Oxford Brookes University commented: “We, here at Oxford Brookes Business School, see the Digital Wellbeing Coach adding great value to those participating in our Happiness through Goal-Setting training. Beyond the application within this training course the Digital Wellbeing coach has great potential for a much wider application particularly for those participating in distance learning.”
