Blapp, A fun game for the child, an effective tool for the therapist!

Project description

Aiding specific language impairment with a game platform

Specific language impairment (SLI) is diagnosed when a child's language does not develop normally, and the difficulties cannot be attributed to slow development. The EU-funded BLAPP project will provide, for the first, a gamified home rehabilitation platform for SLI. Developed by a Spanish startup, the platform makes use of artificial intelligence algorithms, developed to tailor and adapt the therapy to each particular patient. It also uses voice recognition systems built with deep neural network technology to facilitate patient-platform interaction. Over the past 5 years, the speech-language pathologists industry has grown by 3.8 %, reaching a revenue of USD 4 billion in 2017. The main objective of BLAPP is to address a market need by providing an effective solution for the rehabilitation of speech and language disorders in children.
