Innovation Lab: Technology for Systemic Change

Our Goal: This lab represents our commitment to using AI and technology to address systemic challenges. We explore and develop technical and assistive solutions that create scalable, lasting improvements in public health and community well-being.

What We Do: We engage in focused research and early-stage product development that leverages the latest AI technology to core non-profit and public health problems.

Projects in Exploration:

• Refluent: Refluent is an AI-powered app designed to help people with aphasia and other speech disorders communicate clearly and independently. It uses a custom transformer model trained on aphasic and disfluent data to reconstruct fragmented or incoherent speech into coherent text or audio in real time. By preserving the user’s intent and expression, Refluent enables seamless, natural communication without reliance on caretakers.
• Safe Circle: A web-based application that allows students to connect anonymously and discuss academic and personal challenges, including sensitive issues like bullying. The platform leverages AI to analyze student inputs, categorize bullying reports, and provide schools with actionable insights to improve support systems.
