I am interested in philosophy and drawing, and I enjoy observing human behavior as a keen observer of people. While my observations are not yet highly profound, I am fascinated by all forms of activity in the world, which constitute my primary interests. I have only received academic awards within my school and have not yet participated in external competitions, but I have engaged in public welfare activities involving educational support and donations for underdeveloped mountainous regions. My STEAM focus is on psychology and biology integrated with technology, including AI, human and animal biology, behavioral psychology, and social psychology. Additionally, I am currently studying investing and business management, as I aim to become an entrepreneur in the future. I believe the core of successful entrepreneurship lies in solving real-world problems or fulfilling unmet market needs; this approach creates social value while generating economic returns, as capital naturally flows toward demand-driven markets.
Project Introduction
Our project, LonoRelief tVNS, is an easy, non‑invasive ear wearable designed to lower loneliness and mild anxiety in elderly people. Its purpose is to give safe, home‑use neurostimulation to fix the global problem of elderly isolation, that hurt mental health and well‑being. We tested the effect of transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS) with AI adaptive algorithms, checking how personalized neurostimulation can improve mood and reduce loneliness in seniors. We also looked for design ways to make the device easy to use for people with low digital skills, removing barriers for steady mental health care.
