Executive Summary
Taylor’s University and Glueck collaborated to create a socio-behavioural laboratory equipped with AI—the first of its kind in Southeast Asia. The lab comes with 13 face-tracking cameras, a virtual reality interface, brain scanners, and emotion recognition software.
Currently the need is even higher for taking care of Seniors in Malaysia. Many of the Seniors are living alone and fending for themselves. Family visit as often as they can but most of the day they live by themselves. Glueck is trying to get funding from the Federal Government to implement the similar technology as Taylor’s in Senior homes to monitor the mental of Seniors and notify family members.

Taylor’s University uses AI to change the way mental illness is diagnosed.
Identifying micro facial expressions can lead to a life-changing diagnosis for a person with mental health problems. To capture and process these tiny expressions, Taylor’s University turned to artificial intelligence (AI) to observe and interpret the emotions of people with mental. Illness and special needs. Using emotion recognition software and machine learning, the university’s research is changing the way mental health is diagnosed and treated.
Identifying expressions and emotions in real time
Together with local firm Glueck Technologies, CHED created a socio-behavioural laboratory equipped with AI—the first of its kind in Southeast Asia. The lab comes with 13 face-tracking cameras, a virtual reality interface, brain scanners, and emotion recognition software.
Better understanding mental and behavioural health issues
The lab is now blazing a trail in socio-behavioural research by using its own technology to gather and process data about the local population. With this capability, Taylor’s University expects to gain a better understanding of mental health issues and human behaviours—to provide accurate diagnoses for more Malaysians.
Reducing mental health stigma
Unravelling truth from dishonesty
Understanding individuals with special needs
By bringing in new, on-invasive technology, we hope to reduce the stigma around mental health. So, we’re trying to move towards a future where people engage with mental health open-mindedly and
proactively.”
