The Linghos
Convenient and Engaging Speech Therapy Driven by AI

The Linghos has made a significant stride in the field of speech therapy for children by offering an innovative and technology-driven approach that prioritizes engagement, convenience, and personalization.

“What sets us apart is our utilization of AI technology. We use the same exercises as speech therapists, but the difference lies in our AI-led diagnosis and entertaining gamified therapy sessions,” says Jakub Śledź, co-founder of The Linghos.

It brings two significant benefits.

The most notable advantage is enabling speech therapists to remotely assess and diagnose potential speech impediments in children between ages 3 and 10. This is particularly beneficial for families living in remote areas with limited access to speech therapy services. Via its online platform and a simple monthly subscription model, The Linghos ensures children from all corners of the country can receive accurate diagnoses without the burden of time-consuming and costly in-person visits.

Another significant benefit of AI lies in the realm of diagnosis and therapy itself. By gamifying the processes, The Linghos is making it more engaging and effective for children. During the diagnostic phase, children are encouraged to speak approximately 40-44 specific words in a storytelling format, assisted by animated characters. The AI technology is then used to perform an analysis of the child’s repeated words.

Once a diagnosis is made, The Linghos creates personalized therapy plans catering to each child’s specific needs. Instead of traditional exercises, the entire therapy is transformed into an interactive, voice-controlled mobile game that integrates captivating storytelling elements. The game can be effortlessly downloaded on smartphones, tablets, and laptops, allowing children to actively participate in therapy sessions at their convenience.

By immersing children in an engaging narratives, the games foster an environment that encourages active participation, enthusiasm, and progress throughout the therapy journey.

The Linghos employs 12 frameworks for its games, specifically designed to address different speech impediments. Rather than creating separate games for each impediment, the firm has integrated exercise-specific tiles within the games. These tiles use the child’s prescribed exercises as commands within the game. As a result, The Linghos offers a scalable solution that provides a personalized experience for each child, all within the same game structure and storyline.

The convenience of the solution extends to parents as well. Through a mobile app, parents can access the AI diagnostic feature and receive personalized therapy plans for their children. This eliminates the need for frequent in-person therapy sessions, accommodating busy schedules and reducing logistical barriers.

The firm has also implemented a collaborative strategy by partnering with speech therapists to ensure the platform is aligned with professional expertise and incorporates valuable input from experienced professionals. As part of this collaboration, the platform provides a complementary CRM system integrated with the platform. This CRM system empowers speech therapists with a comprehensive track record of their patients, therapies, and diagnoses to simplify their daily workflow and efficiently access vital information. Therapists can even leverage the wide range of preexisting exercises and tools available on the platform, eliminating the need to constantly create new exercises or activities and focus more on incorporating their creative and engaging approaches into the therapy process. By working hand in hand with therapists, The Linghos continues to enhance its offering, providing a solution that empowers therapists and children in their journey toward improved speech and language abilities.

Based on the characters and the Linghos universe, the company is in the process of developing an animated series for streaming platforms that focuses on enhancing children’s emotional intelligence. “We are also actively preparing to introduce AI-powered toys with advanced voice recognition systems in the market,” adds Mariusz Pitura, co-founder of The Linghos. Drawing inspiration from a game approved by the FDA for children with ADHD, the company envisions a future where their solutions can be prescribed by doctors, solidifying the solutions credibility and enabling widespread access for families in need.

Summing up, The Linghos will be an AI based app that make make speech therapy more engaging for the kids, more convenient for their parents, and more technologically advanced for speech therapists.
