Russian Digital Assistant Aims to Help Men Become Better Fathers
Students have developed a family-focused app designed to support future fathers.
Students at Far Eastern Federal University have developed an application called Papa Plyus (Dad Plus). The app is a personal digital assistant for men preparing to become fathers, the university’s press service said.
According to the developers, the mini-app and chatbot are designed to increase fathers’ involvement in their children’s lives. Over three months of educational content, users learn how to prepare for conception and childbirth and how to participate more actively in family life and parenting.
Building Confidence
The course, created with leading experts, explains how lifestyle, stress, and a man’s overall health can influence a future child. Project leader Maria Noskova said the tool helps future fathers feel more confident and better prepared for parenthood.
The students have already won a grant for their development and are now testing the prototype.
