Mind Without Borders
Mind without Borders is a mobile application designed to support the health and care of children during the spread of an epidemic. The application allows children or care providers to report health information regularly, so that volunteers and psychotherapists can offer help in time. Anonymous and secure messaging connects children in different countries as pen pals through text, voice and video. Contact with family and friends is also included. The aim is to reduce anxiety and to ease the burden on health care workers.
