Designing an at-home speech screening app for children

This project focused on creating a pediatric speech screening experience designed to make the assessment process clearer, calmer, and more approachable for both children and their parents.

Five parent interviews set the direction. The same worry kept surfacing: is this normal for my child's age, or something worth checking?

Three people share one screening: the parent who runs it, the child who plays through it, and the clinician who reviews what it finds. Each got their own foundations before any screens were drawn.

Results read like something a parent can act on: what went well, which sounds need attention, and one clear next step. AI screening only, never a diagnosis.

Before any game begins, Booca records the parent's own voice, so its speech engine can tell a parent's guidance apart from the child's answers.
