Project description
A new therapeutic technology to support early speech development
Language development before the start of school is crucial for children's future education and overall development and communication skills. But today, parents of children with language development problems often find it difficult to receive professional support or to help the child themselves. The EU-funded SMARTSLT project supports Kids Speech Labs (KLS) smart technology that offers apps based on automatic speech recognition and artificial intelligence to let parents evaluate problems and support the proper speech development of their child. It is clinically approved as a first-of-this-kind, digitalised tool that will support early stages of language formulation. The project will radically change the therapeutic attitude in this field.
Objective
Smart speech and language tools for children's development.
Kids Speech Labs is on a mission to ensure all children can develop their communication skills as early and effectively as possible. Children across the EU are spending up to 12 months on waiting lists for assessments and interventions for speech and language development. The major gap in the ecosystem is providing parents with tools they can use in the early stages of development to help understand their child's progress. Kids Speech Labs (KSL) are building assessment and training tools that use automatic speech recognition and artificial intelligence to assess, monitor and intervene in children's speech development.
KSL’s smart technology and evidence-based solutions will be the first to provide parents and professionals in this industry with clinically validated digital tools to manage children’s speech development. The first goal of this project is to test the feasibility of deploying a light-touch speech assessment tool that can provide parents with unique insights into their child's speech development, generating further evidence of a real market gap and willingness to pay for solutions. The second goal is to validate our market assumptions, size, route to market and cost of acquisition. This project is the first step in developing a drastically new approach to providing solutions in speech and language development to address the inadequacies in the industry.
