About
Fragmented records, changing professional teams and disconnected institutions can cause important information and responsibilities to be overlooked when children are in state care. Care4Children combines secure information management with AI that identifies delayed actions, gaps in care and situations requiring professional attention. Blockchain-based records make institutional commitments and responses traceable without publicly storing sensitive personal data. A child-friendly digital companion also helps children understand their rights, raise concerns and request assistance safely. Supporting rather than replacing professionals, the system could improve coordination, prevent harmful omissions and strengthen children’s participation in decisions affecting them.

My research connects peacebuilding, public policy, and emerging technologies.
