Descrizione del progetto
Una soluzione ludica per i bambini con difficoltà cognitive
Secondo l’Organizzazione mondiale della sanità, circa lo 0,6 % dei bambini soffre di disturbi dello spettro autistico. I software terapeutici sono emersi come un prezioso strumento a sostegno di pazienti, in particolare bambini, affetti da questi disturbi e da ulteriori disturbi cognitivo-comunicativi. L’allenamento delle competenze sociali, le attività educative e la stimolazione multisensoriale possono trasformarsi in un videogioco coinvolgente e divertente. Il progetto Pictogram, finanziato dall’UE, introdurrà un software innovativo rivolto a bambini piccoli con disturbi dello spettro autistico. Il sistema sviluppato consisterà in una piattaforma di comunicazione sicura con dati in tempo reale e consentirà la transizione da un foglio di carta a un dispositivo elettronico, fornendo ai bambini la possibilità di apprendere nuove competenze ed essere indipendenti.
Obiettivo
Yottacode® is a spin-off originated at the University of Jae?n, Spain, after participating in a FP7 project. We have been selected from the European projects “Startup Scaleup” and “Startup Europe”. We are specialized on developing therapeutic software for cognitive-communication disorders.
An important percentage of the world population suffers some sort of cognitive mis-function related to the use of language, such as people suffering from Autism (ASD). The World Health Organization estimated that worldwide 0.6% children have ASD. In Europe, it is estimated to be affecting 0.62–0.70% of the population, while prevalence appears to be increasing. A recent study estimated to €226 billion the total annual cost of Autism in the EU.
There is an increasing need for innovative solutions to deliver inexpensive mental healthcare to the population. We will design an innovative software (Pictogram) for early-age ASD children, allowing the transition from a piece of paper to an electronic device, giving children a chance to learn new skills and be independent. The software will integrate a secure communication platform with real-time data, enabling customization and access to feedback on performance, implementing new professional therapies and technological improvements.
After our initial studies, we developed a prototype that has been theoretically and scientifically validated. From the feasibility study we would like to obtain crucial information for the finalization of Pictogram's Commercial Product. We will pursue the last steps of development to get it working in different compatible devices, integrating it into a BIG DATA & Machine Learning platform, adapting it to other cognitive-communication disorders, and finally conducting the appropriate clinical trials.
After 5 years from market launch, Pictogram will be installed in ~203K devices (~4.5% of the world market). The associated social impact of the project is estimated by a Social Return on Investment of 2.7.
