Happy Kids Academy, a platform where AI meets positive psychology, has been recognised as one of the world’s 30 AI impact solutions at the AI Impact Summit in New Delhi.
The 2026 awards ceremony welcomed leaders in innovation and tech-driven policy to India’s AI Expo, as well as Happy Kids Academy founder Luanna Eroles.
“We are seeing a generation that is digitally connected but emotionally adrift,” Eroles told Silicon in a 2025 interview, adding: “Anxiety and loneliness are rising, not only because of social media, but also because of existential worries like climate anxiety, job insecurity, and the fear of a fragile future.”
Founded in 2025 to prevent a global youth and mental health crisis, Happy Kids Academy uses AI-powered tools to strengthen mental resilience and human growth among teenagers. It is designed to be used by schools, families and public health agencies.
After a career in building health tech solutions for insurance companies, Eroles found her calling to “measure not just risk, but potential,” and moved to Luxembourg. She founded HappyKids.ai, a social impact company offering science-based programmes and technologies that combine psychology, education and emotional intelligence in “joyful, creative ways.”
The company wants to give young people the emotional tools most adults wished they had learned in school, like naming feelings, building resilience and finding meaning and purpose. Its platform uses AI-powered language analysis with positive psychology frameworks to identify speech patterns and detect early signs of mental distress.
The recognition is connected to the AI by HER (Female founders) Global Impact Challenge, which invited women in tech to demonstrate AI solutions tackling large scale or novel real-world public challenges.
