Suvi Carlile created HiLo in February 2020 at age 12, as a 7th-Grade science project called the 'Happy Button'. Curious about emotional states of her classmates, she recruited some of them to measure not only their stress, but also happiness levels over several days using a simple IoT button-set she'd made. 

Two weeks after the science fair, the first Covid-19 lockdown happened. No one needs reminding of the stress that ensued, especially at healthcare facilities. Over the next year, Suvi and her dad Narath developed a more robust version of the button and ran pilots at three primary care practices in Boston. By 2022, they had brought in MIT Media Lab PhD student Patrick Chwalek to further improve the design, and recruited an advisory board.

Suvi is continuing to develop HiLo Pulse while currently also studying Psychology and Economics at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland. She is dedicated to improving the world to become a safer, happier place and hoping her work on HiLo will improve the lives of many.
