The App seeks to empower families of special needs children living with Autism, ADHD, and Cerebral palsy, amongst other mental health conditions, by enabling them to navigate challenges and opportunities related to neurodiversity.

The AI App built by young Kenyans in collaboration with colleagues from Germany, leverages on data from globally re-known research institutions and uses cutting edge GPT technology to provide much needed assistance by providing special needs children and their care givers with much needed information in both English and Swahili, simplifying their journey.

Dr. Wamuyu Owotoki Co-Founder and CEO of iZola said that creation of the app was mainly driven by the inability of parents with special needs children to find resources to enable their children thrive. “ Driven by this reality, iZola has created Xaidi a health helper App leveraging artificial intelligence to foster a healthcare ecosystem that is tailored to the diverse needs of special needs families,” she said.
