- Paperbox Health — DINO: The Future of Early Learning Disorder DetectionIn today’s educational landscape, learning disorders often go undiagnosed until they become significant barriers to academic success. This late detection leads to higher intervention costs, greater emotional distress for children, and increased strain on teachers and families.DINO isrevolutionizing the way we approach early learning disorder identification by leveraging AI, gamification, and data-driven insights to create a scalable, efficient, and engaging solution for schools.Our mission is simple: ensure that every child, regardless of background or geography, has access to early and accurate learning disorder detection. By intervening at the right time, we empower schools, educators, and families to provide the best possible support for students who need it most.A Disruptive Approach to Educational Assessment Traditional methods of identifying learning difficulties are often time-consuming, resource-intensive, and dependent on expert evaluations that may not be readily available. DINO changes this paradigm by offering:AI-powered early detection – Our intelligent algorithms analyze gameplay data to identify potential learning challenges in real time. Gamified assessment – Students engage in fun, interactive activities that collect meaningful cognitive and linguistic data without creating stress or pressure. Minimal teacher intervention – The tool is designed for independent use, allowing educators to focus on classroom instruction while gathering valuable insights. Scalability and cost-efficiency – Unlike traditional assessment methods, DINO can be deployed in multiple schools with minimal logistical constraints.Proven Business Model & Strong Market Validation DINO’s business model has been successfully implemented in Italy, demonstrating strong financial sustainability and market demand. Our approach is based on:A subscription-based pricing model: Schools pay a setup fee (€200 per institution) and an annual fee per student (€10 per child), ensuring affordability while maintaining profitability. High margins and low operational costs: Delivery costs are minimal (€1 per report, totaling €2 per child annually), allowing for flexible pricing adaptation, with an average deal size of €1,350 per school.

- Prosoma — Prosoma was born out a need to provide more comprehensive care for cancer patients. We have found a fundamental lack of access to psychological care for patients who not only have to face a life-altering disease and treatment, but also crucially have a different set of needs than other psychological patients. Barriers to accessing psychologicalcare often include low numbers of therapists and clinicians in the area, financial or geographical limitations, and the general wellbeing of patients preventing them from attending meetings. All of these issues can be solved by modern technology.By using VR as part of, or when necessary, an alternative to traditional psychological treatment, we can reach patients that would otherwise be left without any support. They can use our tool at home or in the clinics whilst undergoing pharmacological treatment and chemotherapy.We hope to provide patients with a tool that will help them manage stress, cope with the burden of cancer, and eventually improve their quality of life.
