SensePlay is an award-winning, therapy-driven, gamified platform designed to empower and assist therapists in supporting children with moderate to severe special educational needs (SEN) - a group that remains significantly underserved. Through multisensory play, real-time progress tracking and AI-powered analysis, SensePlay motivates children’s active participation by dynamically adjusting challenge levels and sensory inputs based on user responses, thereby enhancing engagement and therapeutic outcomes. 

The platform also assists therapists in monitoring progress and sharing data efficiently with care teams and families. It integrates with data management systems to track and record each child’s physical motion, engagement levels, and other key indicators, providing a holistic view of development over time. While the SEN group is our starting point, we see broader potential to expand into other rehabilitation areas in the future, including elderly care, and people with disabilities.
