The Science of Phone Detoxification
How AI helps children unplug — not by force, but by flow.
The Paradox of Connectivity
Children today live in a world that never stops buzzing. The average teen checks their phone 70+ times a day, often without purpose — just to "feel connected." But constant digital noise erodes focus, creativity, and rest. That's where digital detox comes in — not as punishment, but as balance.
How SlateMate Redefines Detox
Traditional screen-time blockers trigger rebellion; we took a different path. eRaksha's "Digital Detox Mode" uses habit-loop psychology — suggesting short, reward-based pauses rather than abrupt cut-offs. The AI companion might say, "You've been learning for an hour — time for a quick walk?" or "Let's play an offline reflection game."
Why It Works
These gentle nudges work because they respect autonomy. The child feels empowered to choose mindfulness, not forced to obey it. Over time, this builds self-awareness and internal motivation — the essence of true digital detoxification.
Data Meets Mindfulness
Behind the scenes, our models analyze focus patterns, sleep rhythms, and emotional feedback to tailor breaks that restore balance. It's neuroscience in action — helping the brain breathe.
The Result
Children rediscover boredom — and with it, creativity. Parents see calmer evenings. And families start talking again, not scrolling.
