This will<br>optimize response times and allow the conflict management staff to use their time more<br>efficiently so that they can spend more time on impact-oriented work.<br>Hardware Proposals for Br\u0101v<br>1) Smart Algorithm\/Smart Robot<br>\u2022 Moore\u2019s Law predicts that a computer will soon reach the processing power of the human<br>brain. We must take advantage of these statistics to build a smart robot. A smart robot can be<br>designed in such a way as to help victims. A smart algorithm needs to be developed and<br>programmed onto a chip which can go into the robot. This algorithm can also be used on an<br>online platform for the victims to interact with if the robot is unnecessary.<br>\u2022 I did some research online and found something known as Robo-advisor. A roboadvisor is an<br>online wealth management service that provides automated, algorithm-based portfolio<br>management advice without the use human financial planners. We can use the same concept to<br>come up with an innovative algorithm to help the situation we aim at addressing. We can design<br>an algorithm in such a way that it learns from the previous cases it has dealt with and improve its<br>ability by learning from the past. So we can guarantee ever improving services. I have included<br>a link of robo advisor. We can aim at achieving something like this.<br>\u2022 https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=YycdAwu0320<br>\u2022 In addition to the regular method of dealing with a problem, let\u2019s take for examples bullies in<br>school. Why don\u2019t we focus on the bullies as well and not just the victims. We can use an<br>algorithm to bring them on the right track as well, since most of the times bullies are known to<br>just act out due to problems at home or elsewhere. If we are able to mold them at a younger age,<br>we might just end up helping a larger population of the people.<br>2) Customized Applications<br>Let\u2019s look at customizing the robot. In addition to the clever algorithm included in the robot, we<br>can design certain sensors which can aid the owner when it comes to mental stress.<br>Problem : For example let\u2019s say that a person was having a very bad day at work and he\/she<br>needs to clear their mind and focus on the next productive thing they have to do or a kid at<br>school or anybody else decides to take an extreme step to commit suicide. Solution: \u2022 We<br>include EEG and EOG sensors which can process information from the brain. This measured<br>parameter can be calibrated for various levels. If the level is above threshold 1 but below<br>threshold 2, then certain therapeutic action can be administered. Maybe the robot could play<br>soothing music to calm the mind of a person, etc.<br>\u2022 If the measured value is greater than the upper threshold, an SMS alert can be sent to a loved<br>one who can tend to the person immediately. This might just prevent a disastrous situation and<br>might save a life.<br>Security<br>Communications, especially those involving sensitive information needs to be subject to best<br>practice Cryptography (unfortunately my background in this is severely limited to say the least,<br>at least for now). Also, it may be worth looking into Encrypting File Systems (EFS) for<br>protecting sensitive files. There are also some basic ways to prevent data breaches. Every<br>individual who is working on software or is handling sensitive client data needs to make sure<br>that any device handling that data is protected with antivirus software. For example, if you use<br>email to communicate client information &#8211; you need to make sure that all devices handling that<br>email account (desktops, laptops, phones, tablets, etc.) are protected. I have used the free<br>antivirus provided by Avast! Internet Security for my laptop and phone &#8211; and it seems to work<br>well for me. Also, it is important that no devices which were used for software dev\/holding<br>sensitive information are lost or stolen &#8211; and if they are, the rest of the team is notified<br>immediately so we know what information might be at stake and the right actions can be taken.<br>This is the most obvious point of all, but a common mistake that some developers may make is<br>to keep their Git repositories public &#8211; they need to be private &#8211; especially for proprietary<br>software! Unfortunately, non-academic uses for git often cost money if you want to keep<br>repositories private.<br>Background<br>Along with her JD, Br\u0101v Executive Director Remi Alli is a Psychology graduate of the<br>University of Michigan &#8212; Ann Arbor.
