Children and young people make up a third of the population of our country and their health and wellbeing is a top priority, but our young people are increasingly exposed to two childhood epidemics -- obesity and mental distress.Living through this current unprecedented global pandemic will undoubtedly have serious impact on these, disproportionally for children in more deprived circumstances.Stressors such as prolonged duration, fears of infection, boredom, inadequate information, lack of in-person contact with friends, lack of personal space at home, and family financial loss can have enduring effects on children and adolescents. As children are vulnerable to environmental risks and their physical health, mental health, and productivity in adult life is deeply rooted in early years, great efforts are required to address these emergency issues effectively and avoid any long-term consequences in children.Neuronimo is a behavioural change company which helps children and young people aged 4-16 create healthy habits around mental and physical health. We use behavioural science in our programmes, teaching children how their brains and bodies respond to fear, anxiety, impulsiveness and what actions they can take to manage responses and reactions. When children understand why their heart is beating faster, or why they can't sleep, or why their mind goes blank or why they lash out, they can implement actions which help manage these emotions.The current pandemic has highlighted a gap between between public health interventions and delivery of those key messages to children. Neuronimo is an evidence-based approach which offers a compelling market opportunity to provide a conduit connecting these, offering an attractive solution to delivering public health interventions via an app. This app will be free for children to access and will provide children with age-appropriate information, live content and challenges to help them best manage their physical and mental health.Local authority public health teams are accountable for health outcomes, but have no easy access to schools for whom health education is not consistently a priority. The Neuronimo approach offers an innovative solution to overcome this, providing an evidence-based programme of work which meets the needs of schools, children and can deliver key public health messages.

儿童和青年占我国人口的三分之一，他们的健康和福祉是最优先事项，但我们的年轻人越来越多地受到两种儿童流行病的影响————肥胖和精神痛苦。毫无疑问，经历当前这场前所未有的全球大流行病将对这些儿童产生严重影响，尤其是对处境更为贫困的儿童。压力源，如持续时间长、害怕感染、无聊、信息不足、缺乏与朋友的面对面接触、在家缺乏个人空间以及家庭经济损失，会对儿童和青少年产生持久的影响。由于儿童易受环境风险的影响，而且他们的身心健康和成年后的生产力都深深植根于幼儿时期，因此需要作出巨大努力，有效地解决这些紧急问题，避免对儿童造成任何长期后果。Neuronimo是一家行为改变公司，帮助4-16岁的儿童和年轻人在心理和身体健康方面养成健康的习惯。我们在课程中使用行为科学，教孩子们他们的大脑和身体如何对恐惧、焦虑、冲动做出反应，以及他们可以采取什么行动来管理这些反应和反应。当孩子们明白为什么他们的心跳加快，或者为什么他们睡不着，或者为什么他们的大脑一片空白，或者为什么他们会大发雷霆，他们就可以采取行动来帮助管理这些情绪。当前的大流行病凸显了公共卫生干预措施与向儿童传递这些关键信息之间的差距。Neuronimo是一种基于证据的方法，它提供了一个令人信服的市场机会，提供了一个连接这些渠道的渠道，提供了一个有吸引力的解决方案，通过应用程序提供公共卫生干预措施。这款应用程序将免费供儿童使用，并将为儿童提供适合他们年龄的信息、实时内容和挑战，帮助他们最好地管理自己的身心健康。地方当局的公共卫生小组对卫生成果负责，但不容易进入卫生教育始终不是优先事项的学校。Neuronimo方法为克服这一问题提供了一种创新的解决办法，它提供了一个以证据为基础的工作方案，满足学校和儿童的需要，并能传递关键的公共卫生信息。
