Neurolink

Description

University is about more than just lectures; it's about finding your people. But what if the typical social channels feel like a barrier instead of a bridge? For many neurodivergent students, the vibrant campus experience can be a source of sensory overload and anxiety, while the fear of stigma often creates a 'disclosure gap', leaving countless students feeling isolated and disconnected from the very support systems designed to help them. Enter Neurolink. We're not just another app; we are a purpose-built digital sanctuary, designed with and for neurodivergent students at the University of Auckland. Our mission is to finally bridge the gap in peer support by creating a safe, dedicated space for genuine connection. Imagine a platform that adapts to YOU. With our principle of RADICAL USER CONTROL, you are empowered to curate your own online world. You shape the entire experience by choosing the features you want to engage with, crafting a calm, personalized space that perfectly fits your needs. Forge real connections through a smart Social Feed with content from peers matched by machine learning. Discover friends based on shared interests and easily manage your connections. Dive into meaningful conversations in a dedicated Forum for community Q&A, or turn digital plans into reality with a Commitments scheduler perfect for organizing study groups and meetups. Meet "Henry," your proactive AI concierge. More than a chatbot, Henry helps you navigate the app, answers questions, and offers advanced voice control and screen reading to make digital engagement effortless. Neurolink is more than a project; it's a blueprint for a future where technology doesn't just accommodate, but truly empowers all students to thrive. We are building a community where every brain wave is on the same wavelength.
