Solution Overview
The Report on National Mental Health Development in China finds rising rates of depression and anxiety in adults, and a sharper problem among adolescents. The Ministry of Education requires at least one full-time mental health teacher in every primary and secondary school, and a crisis pathway in every university. Services are still unevenly spread, problems are found late, help arrives late, and people worry about privacy. This solution combines IoT wearables, artificial intelligence, remote counselling, and a crisis pathway for schools, employers, communities, and clinical services.
State is read from scales, from wearables that record sleep, heart rate, and activity, and from behavior such as app use and social interaction. Remote care includes video sessions, a place to talk in writing, and an AI companion. Risk models for depression, anxiety, and suicide risk raise an alert on a high-risk person and start the response. That response includes a 24-hour line, referral to a specialist, and follow-up. Screening, counselling, alert, and intervention stay on one loop, which is how the service is meant to reduce crisis events.
Policy and How It Is Put in Place
The Mental Health Law and the Healthy China Initiative place mental health inside public health. On campus, new students are screened, screening repeats, student advisors receive the alert, and there is a referral path to a psychiatric service. In an employee assistance program, staff can complete an anonymous assessment, take a stress-management course, and a crisis case gets a 24-hour response. On privacy and ethics, data is encrypted, consent is collected, AI suggestions are advisory, and a person confirms any major decision. Across agencies, health, education, public security, and civil affairs share a crisis coordination path.
