SafeGuard is a web-based application that monitors social media accounts and detects critical keywords such as "hurt", "die", etc., and phrases to detect cyberbullying threats and emotional distress in a person's social media post. Once a monitor discovers a match, an alert is generated for the end user in which they can initiate human intervention. This application is a new strategy for academic institution that allows them to be proactive rather than reactive against cyberbullying.
