Personal motivation

Motivation started due to personal reasons. Javier’s niece was born with a rare disease: Cornelia de Lange syndrome. She not only presents intellectual disability but also muscular defects and epilepsy.

Looking for information about the syndrome and technology that could help in its development, the conclusion is that the technology does not reach the patients’ families and healthcare professionals.

Let’s do it

Having an engineering background, he asked himself: What can I do it? After creating a prototype for her cognitive and motor development, it is time to transform it into a minimum viable product (MVP) creating a software platform, implementing current technology and founding a start-up to reach many more patients.

The next steps are

1. First collaborations with pediatric healthcare professionals and educators

2. Team building

3. Funding
