Rhythm uses a 90-second interactive activity to learn each student's personal baseline. Rhythm Signal tells counselors when a pattern meaningfully changes. Rhythm Insight gives them the context to understand it and decide what happens next.
Rhythm Signal found 3 meaningful changes. Insight gives the counselor the context to decide what happens next.
The Rhythm Workflow
Signal notices. Insight explains.
Schools already have the data: attendance, academics, behavior, teacher observations, student voice. What is often missing is a simple way to know when something changes, and the context to understand it.
🎯 Rhythm Signal
Notices the change.
The signal that starts the conversation. Rhythm looks at behavioral performance relative to the student's own baseline, not a comparison with other students.
Answers
Has something changed in this student's pattern?
🧭 Rhythm Insight
Explains the context.
The context behind the signal. Insight brings together student voice, attendance, academics, behavior, teacher observations, counselor notes, interventions, and follow-up so the counselor can understand the bigger picture.
Answers
What is the bigger picture, and what happened next?
✦ Rhythm Bundle Recommended
Signal plus Insight. Notice meaningful change, understand the surrounding context, and coordinate the next human action.
Signal covers steps 1–3. Insight is step 4. A counselor decides what to do next.
STEP 01 Signal
🎮
90-Second Activity
Students complete a brief interactive task on a school device. It is designed to feel like an activity, not a mental health survey.
STEP 02 Signal
📊
Personal Baseline
Rhythm learns the student's normal pattern of reaction time, accuracy, consistency, and completion.
STEP 03 Signal
🔔
Rhythm Signal
When performance meaningfully shifts from the student's baseline, Rhythm surfaces a signal for review. It is a prompt, not a diagnosis.
STEP 04 Insight
🧭
Rhythm Insight
The counselor sees the signal alongside the school context, then decides what happens next.

Why Schools Choose Rhythm
Easy for students. Safe by design.
However a school starts, the foundation is the same: a short activity students don't dread, strict privacy, and a fast setup.
🎮
90 seconds. Feels like a game.
Students don't answer questions about how they feel. They play a brief interactive task. The behavioral signal is passive — students can't game it, fake it, or opt out of the data.
🔒
Privacy enforced at the data layer
Teachers see aggregate classroom signals only — never individual student data. This isn't an interface choice. It's enforced in the API. FERPA and COPPA compliant by architecture.
⚡
Under a week to set up
No hardware. No IT project. No months of onboarding. Rhythm runs in any browser, integrates with your existing rostering, and is live school-wide in under 5 days.

Why Behavioral Signals
Behavior can give you another signal.
Rhythm does not diagnose a mental health condition. It measures repeatable performance patterns and looks for meaningful change from a student's own baseline. When a change appears, it gives a counselor another reason to look closer and start a conversation.
🧠
Behavioral Performance
Rhythm captures repeatable performance patterns such as reaction time, accuracy, consistency, and completion.
👤
Personal Baseline
Rhythm compares the student to their own pattern. The goal is to identify meaningful change, not rank students against one another.
🤝
Human Context
A signal is only a starting point. Rhythm Insight brings together the school context so counselors can use professional judgment and student conversation.
See the Rhythm workflow.
We'll walk you through Signal, Insight, privacy, and the counselor workflow.
Teachers get plain-language guidance without individual student data or extra work.
🎯 Rhythm Signal
Plain-language classroom patterns, like a class running off-rhythm for days. No individual student data.
🧭 Rhythm Insight
Your teacher observations become part of the context counselors see when they review a signal.
🔴
"Your 3rd period class has been collectively off-rhythm for 4 days."
Something is affecting the whole group — worth a moment of acknowledgment before diving in.
📈
"Engagement signals are highest Tuesday and Wednesday across your classes."
Schedule your most demanding content mid-week when students are sharpest.
🤔
"Your 5th period shows signs of elevated cognitive fatigue this week."
Consider a lighter lesson or grounding activity before pushing new material.

🔒 Privacy By Design
Teachers never see individual student wellness scores or counselor flags — only aggregate classroom signals. Enforced at the data layer, not just the interface.
Why Teachers Love It
The classroom as a living signal.
In the Rhythm bundle, Signal provides the classroom pattern while Insight helps the counselor team understand and follow up on the relevant context. Teachers receive useful group-level guidance, not individual student data.
⏱
Zero Extra Work
Students complete their check-in on their own device. Teachers see their classroom pulse on their dashboard — nothing to set up each day.
🕑
Strategic Timing Controls
Teachers set approved windows for when check-ins fire. Rhythm randomizes within those windows — protecting instructional time and improving data quality.
✨
Weekly Patterns Over Time
After 4–6 weeks Rhythm surfaces day-of-week patterns for each class — helping teachers optimize when they schedule demanding vs. lighter work.
For Parents
Always know. Always in control.
Families stay informed according to the school's age-appropriate sharing settings—and remain in control.
🎯 Rhythm Signal
A brief 90-second activity, a game rather than a survey, that notices when a student's pattern changes.
🧭 Rhythm Insight
The school team's context and follow-up, so a signal leads to a caring conversation, not a conclusion.

A Note to Parents
We built this around your questions.
The most common question: "What exactly are you measuring?" Signal measures how quickly and consistently your child responds to a brief interactive task—not what they type or search—and compares those patterns with their own personal baseline. When school staff need context, Insight brings together the information and follow-up they are permitted to use.

Platform Intelligence Brief
The 90-Second Signal That Changes Everything
For School Counselors, Teachers, and Administrators
1. The Rhythm Workflow
Rhythm starts with a simple 90-second interactive activity. The student plays. Rhythm measures how they perform. Over time, the platform learns that student's normal pattern and looks for meaningful change.
That change becomes the Rhythm Signal. Signal is not a diagnosis and does not tell a counselor what is wrong. It simply says: something about this student's pattern has changed enough to take a closer look.
🎯 Rhythm Signal
The signal that starts the conversation. Rhythm looks at behavioral performance relative to the student's own baseline, not a comparison with other students.
🧭 Rhythm Insight
The context behind the signal. Insight brings together student voice, attendance, academics, behavior, teacher observations, counselor notes, interventions, and follow-up so the counselor can understand the bigger picture.
2. What Rhythm Measures
Rhythm focuses on observable performance during the activity. The exact thresholds are designed around each student's baseline and should be treated as signals for review, not clinical findings.
Reaction Time
How quickly the student responds during the task and whether that pattern changes from their baseline.
Accuracy
How accurately the student responds to the activity and whether accuracy shifts over repeated sessions.
Consistency
How consistent the student's responses are from trial to trial and session to session.
Completion
Whether the student completes the activity, stops early, or does not participate.
Baseline Change
The most important layer: whether today's pattern is meaningfully different from the student's established rhythm.
🔒 Privacy by Design
Rhythm is designed to focus on the activity itself. It does not require access to a student's browsing history, social media, location, camera, or microphone. Schools control who can see student-level information.
3. What Insight Adds
Student Voice
What the student says and what they want adults to know.
School Context
Attendance, academics, behavior, teacher observations, and other school context.
Counselor Notes
The human observations and notes that help turn a signal into an informed conversation.
Intervention & Follow-Up
Track what happened after the conversation and whether the student's pattern changes again.
4. The Daily Counselor Workflow
The workflow is designed to move from signal to context to human action without asking counselors to become data analysts.
1
Review Signal. See which students have meaningful changes from their own baseline.
2
Open Insight. Review the relevant student voice and school context already available to the team.
3
Have the conversation. The counselor, not the algorithm, decides what the signal means and what support is appropriate.
4
Track what happens next. Record the intervention or follow-up and watch the student's rhythm over time.
📊 What Rhythm Is Not
Rhythm is not a diagnostic tool. A Signal is not a clinical finding. The platform surfaces a change in behavior. People provide the context, relationship, and professional judgment that turn that signal into support.
5. Frequently Asked Questions
Is the 90-second activity a mental health screening or diagnosis?
No. Rhythm doesn't ask students how they feel and doesn't diagnose anything. Students play a brief interactive task, and Rhythm measures how their performance shifts from their own baseline. A signal means a pattern changed enough to take a closer look — the counselor decides what it means.
Who can see an individual student's data?
Counselors and administrators can see individual student signals and history. Teachers see classroom-level aggregate patterns only, never an individual student's scores. Parents see their own child's information according to the school's age-appropriate sharing settings.
Is Rhythm FERPA and COPPA compliant?
Yes. Privacy is enforced at the data layer, not just in the interface — access limits like the teacher/counselor separation above are built into the API itself, not a setting someone could turn off.
How long does it take to set up Rhythm at our school?
Most schools are live school-wide in under a week. There's no hardware to install and no months-long IT project. Rhythm runs in any browser and integrates with your existing rostering (including Clever SSO).
Can we start with just Signal or just Insight?
Yes. Signal and Insight are available on their own, or together as the Rhythm Bundle, which is the recommended and most complete option. Pricing for all three is on the Pricing tab.
What happens after Rhythm identifies a signal?
A signal surfaces on the counselor's dashboard alongside Insight's context — attendance, academics, behavior, teacher observations, and prior notes. The counselor, not the algorithm, decides what it means and what support is appropriate.
Does Rhythm work for every grade level?
Yes. Signal, Insight, and the Bundle all cover elementary, middle, and high school, with age-appropriate versions of the activity and visibility settings for each level.
What's involved in a pilot?
Pilot schools get full support getting set up, live in under a week, and receive a 50% founding discount on their selected Rhythm product in exchange for a case study and reference rights.
Signal tells you something changed. Insight helps you understand what changed. People decide what happens next.

Why Elementary Matters Most
The earlier the signal, the longer the runway.
Mental health conditions emerging in elementary school, caught early, have dramatically better outcomes than those left undetected through middle and high school.
👧
COPPA Designed
Every aspect of the elementary product was designed with under-13 compliance as the primary constraint — not added later.
🤓
Play-First Design
Elementary check-ins use age-appropriate visual characters and simple motor tasks. Students experience it as a morning game — not a wellness check.
👪
Parent Partnership
Elementary parents receive the highest visibility tier. Daily scores, trend graphs, and real-time alerts — with full opt-out control at all times.
Middle School — Grades 6 through 8
The highest-risk transition window. Caught earlier.
Middle school is where most mental health conditions first emerge — and where the most students fall through the cracks. Rhythm balances emerging adolescent privacy needs with robust counselor visibility.
✓
Tasks shift to abstract patterns, memory, and spatial challenges — more engaging for 11–14 year olds
✓
Parents see participation status but not individual scores — preserving early adolescent privacy
✓
Counselors retain full visibility and flagging capabilities
✓
Peer-anonymous class leaderboards create engagement without comparison pressure
✓
Students can snooze check-in once by 15 minutes — building trust and autonomy

The Middle School Challenge
Where most conditions first appear.
The 11–14 age window is when anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and self-harm behaviors most commonly emerge — and when students are least likely to tell an adult.
🎮
Engagement-First Tasks
Middle school check-ins use pattern recognition, working memory, and spatial tasks — abstract enough to feel genuinely interesting to adolescents.
🔒
The Privacy Ladder
Parents see participation, not scores. This middle-ground respects adolescent development while ensuring counselors still have full flagging visibility.
👤
Social Mechanics
Anonymous class leaderboards tap into the peer-social drive of middle schoolers — creating organic engagement without ranking or identifying individuals.
High School — Grades 9 through 12
Student-controlled. Trust-first. Still protective.
High school students won't engage with tools that feel like surveillance. Rhythm's high school implementation is built around student autonomy, transparent design, and opt-out rights — while maintaining the counselor visibility that saves lives.
✓
Students control their own privacy settings and data sharing preferences
✓
Students can view their own historical wellness data and personal bests
✓
Students can opt out at any time — no questions, no consequences
✓
Tasks include advanced cognitive challenges — competitive and genuinely interesting
✓
Crisis-level flags still trigger mandatory counselor notification regardless of opt-out status

Why Teenagers Engage
Transparency builds trust. Trust builds data.
The biggest predictor of participation in a high school wellness program is whether students believe the tool is working for them — not on them. Rhythm is explicitly transparent about what it measures, why, and what happens with the data.
📊
Your Own Data
High schoolers can see their own Rhythm scores, personal bests, and 30-day trend. The data becomes theirs — creating genuine investment in consistency.
🧠
Advanced Tasks
High school check-ins use dual-task challenges and working memory sequences that feel genuinely hard — rewarding improvement with visible personal records.
🔓
Opt-Out is Real
Students who know they can leave are more likely to stay. Opt-out is immediate, consequence-free, and clearly communicated from day one.
Side By Side
How Rhythm adapts across grade levels.
Every feature is thoughtfully adjusted — not just the interface skin, but the underlying data access model, parent permissions, and student autonomy settings.

Privacy
Built into the product. Not the fine print.
Every design decision in Rhythm was made with student privacy as the first constraint. Here is exactly what we do and do not do — with no ambiguity.
What We Measure
●Reaction time to interactive stimuli
●Task accuracy and response consistency
●Check-in completion patterns
●Deviation from each student's personal baseline
What We Never Measure
✕Keystrokes, screen content, or browsing history
✕Location data or GPS
✕Biometrics — no camera, no microphone
✕Social media, messages, or personal accounts
🔒
FERPA Compliant
All student data is protected under FERPA. We are a school official under FERPA and handle data accordingly — with full contractual accountability.
👧
COPPA First for K–5
Our elementary product was built with COPPA as the foundational constraint. Parental consent flows, data minimization, and retention limits are all built in from the start.
🛡
Data Minimization
We collect only what is needed to generate a wellness signal. No surplus data is stored. Aggregated classroom data has all individual identifiers removed before teacher delivery.
🏗
Enforced at the Data Layer
Teacher-level privacy restrictions aren't just an interface choice — they're enforced in the API. Teachers cannot query individual student data even via API access.
🗑
Right to Deletion
Parents and students (at the high school level) can request full data deletion at any time. Deletion is complete and permanent within 30 days, across all systems.
📋
Annual Audit
Rhythm undergoes annual third-party privacy audits. Audit results are available to district partners upon request. We believe accountability requires external verification.
