Youth Development Monitoring System (YDMS)

The Youth Development Monitoring System (YDMS) is a mobile app designed to monitor and support the development of Vietnamese youth aged 10 to 15. The app aims to address family dysfunction and its impact on youth mental health by fostering better communication and understanding within families and improving overall youth wellbeing. The app integrates direct feedback from youth, parents, guardians, and educators into a unified system that tracks developmental progress across emotional, social, physical, and educational dimensions. This approach provides a comprehensive view of each child’s wellbeing. The app’s real-time data collection and analysis offers immediate insights and recommendations to families and offers young people access to personalized insights, encouraging them to take an active role in their mental wellbeing. Sensitive input from parents and caregivers is also carefully filtered to ensure it is appropriate before being shared with youth users while safeguarding policies protect user privacy and provide a secure experience. YDMS also strengthens community support systems by offering training sessions for parents, teachers, and caregivers. These sessions provide strategies and resources to build positive relationships and promote social-emotional learning (SEL).
