What is KeenLoop
OUR MISSION
Through our App we foster meaningful social connection, emotional support, and peer engagement among deaf children and young people through a secure, clinic-supported digital platform. Based on the Buddy System, where older children that have gone through the process of learning to hear can inspire younger kids that are beginning their journey or that would like to connect with kids like them. A secure digital platform where young people with hearing loss can find mentorship & connection.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Download Keenloop App, ask your clinic for a personal invitation to join our private online community using a unique, secure access code. Once registered, each user can:
- Create a personal profile that highlights their interests, hobbies, and favorite activities.
- Connect with peers from their own clinic or other clinics across the globe.
- Engage in safe space for conversation, activities, and shared experiences.
KEY FEATURES
- Secure clinic-based access: Only verified patients can join through an invitation system managed by participating clinics.
- Interest-based profiles: Users can express themselves through personalized profiles designed to encourage common ground.
- Peer matching & connection tools: Smart filters and suggestions help users find others with shared interests and look for kids that inspire them and that have gone through the process of learning to hear.
WHY IT MATTERS
Many deaf and hard of hearing youth experience social isolation and limited opportunities to connect with peers who share their life experiences. This platform provides a safe, supportive environment where they can build friendships, boost confidence, and feel part of a larger community—starting with the care network they already trust: their clinic.
