Objective

To showcase Leaware’s expertise in designing an innovative educational app to determine and correct hearing problems in children, using memory game techniques and sound matching. 

Meet the Client

Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń, Poland, is an educational institution named after Nicolaus Copernicus, who was born in Toruń in 1473. The University embarked on this initiative to develop an engaging and effective method to diagnose and address hearing problems in children. 

Historical Background
& Current Situation

Image

Pamięć Muzyczna Game is an initiative by the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń, Poland. The game was designed to help diagnose and address hearing issues in children. It was a novel approach, leveraging the concept of a memory game to pair identical sounds instead of images, which was a key element in the current situation where traditional diagnostic methods needed a more engaging alternative for children.

Challenge

The key challenge was to design an interactive, user-friendly game application that could engage children while simultaneously aiding in determining and correcting potential hearing issues. It required a unique approach to make the hearing assessment process enjoyable and effective for children. 

Solution

Using Windows 8.1 technology, Leaware developed the Pamięć Muzyczna Game for the Windows platform. This innovative app is designed as a typical memory game but uses identical sounds for pairing instead of pictures. This gamified approach to a serious health concern presented an engaging method to diagnose and treat hearing problems in children.
