REMOTE EMOTION REGULATORY DEVICE FOR CHILDREN
Every Child Deserves to Be Seen.
SEPA Babies is the first remote emotion regulatory device designed for neurodiverse children — disguised as the plush companion they already love.
1 Hour of Therapy Is Not Enough.
And our children are paying the price.
U.S. children with mental health challenges
Children born with autism spectrum disorder
Cause of death in youth ages 10-34: suicide
Every week without insight or support
Doctors can only treat what they can measure. They get 60 minutes. The other 167 hours — silence.
THE SOLUTION
Meet SEPA Babies
A remote emotion regulatory device disguised as a plush toy — the first of its kind designed specifically for neurodiverse children.
Sensory
As-needed HRV & biometric sensing
Education
Tracks learning behaviors & developmental milestones
Productivity
Engagement, focus & therapeutic activity data
Adaptability
Profiles evolve as the child progresses
Children bond with their companion naturally. SEPA senses passively. Families and clinicians get the insights they need.
One Platform. Three Tiers. Every Child.
Kitarama & Dragophant
Ultra-soft, rounded, and free of hard elements — ideal for tactile sensitivities. Passive biometric sensors fully embedded. Caregivers receive daily behavioral and sleep summaries in the SEPA app.
Drago & Kit
Pressure-sensitive fidget zones generate self-regulation data without deliberate effort. The SEPA app introduces an optional child-facing mood log so kids begin understanding their own patterns.
Jett & Lilly
Styled as premium collectible plush figures with zero clinical appearance. Full biometric suite runs silently. The “My SEPA” teen app gives adolescents their own private data view and mood journal.
How It Works
168 hours a week. Every pattern seen. Every insight shared.
Child Bonds
Child plays with, holds, and sleeps with their SEPA companion. Zero compliance required — sensing is completely passive.
Embedded Sensors
Embedded sensors capture 5 data streams as needed: heart rate & HRV, movement & activity, sleep quality, emotional/behavioral triggers, and caregiver observations.
AI Summarizes
The SEPA platform analyzes the week's data into visual summaries, critical flags, and care recommendations.
All Informed
Clinician gets a pre-session brief. Parents get daily updates. Teens get their own private data view.
