Say Hi to HiJo.

Howl & Associates are thrilled to to be working with Paul Salmon, legendary Australian Football League player and Hall of Fame inductee, on his new startup HiJo - a connected IoT device which uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning to measure wellbeing in the classroom.

HiJo’s primary objective is to lower the rate of mental health issues in our young people by producing data focused on informing early intervention and support for those most at risk of developing a mental health condition.

The device boasts a visual display and 11 input keys, including 8 mood inputs that are aligned to the ‘circumplex model of affect’, and tracks environmental data including student movement, temperature, light, noise and the proximity of others in the classroom, which connects directly to the teacher portal.

We are excited to be working with Paul and his team to launch HiJo and associated products into the marketplace.

Stay tuned for updates.
