Patent pending · Launching in the UK

Numbers have a rhythm. We help every child find it.

CogniBeat is an app for children with dyscalculia — the maths equivalent of dyslexia. It will spot the difficulty early through play, then turn practice into a game set to music and rhythm, so learning numbers feels less like a test and more like a beat.

The problem we're solving in the UK

Dyscalculia is everywhere — and almost invisible.

Around 1 in 20 people struggle to process numbers at a fundamental level. Most are never identified, and the support that does exist is hard to reach. CogniBeat is built for that gap.

It goes undiagnosed

Low awareness and a shortage of specialist assessors mean most children are never formally identified — so they never get help.

Testing is stressful

Traditional diagnosis is a formal, intimidating test. For an anxious child who already dreads maths, that rarely shows their true ability.

Support is expensive

Effective help usually means one-to-one tutoring or specialist sessions — costly, and simply unavailable in many areas.

Generic apps miss it

Most maths apps drill arithmetic. They don't address the deeper cognitive difficulties that define dyscalculia.

Stigma keeps families quiet

Fear of labelling means many parents wait and hope — letting a child fall further behind in a subject everything else builds on.

Music is out of reach

Rhythmic and musical training supports numerical thinking, but lessons and instruments are unaffordable for many families and schools.

How it works

Three steps, one playful loop.

A diagnosis that feels like a game

CogniBeat's gamified diagnostic suite walks a child through progressively harder challenges — counting, comparing numbers, simple arithmetic — while quietly measuring accuracy and how long each answer takes.

  • Discreet assessment with none of the pressure of a formal test
  • Built on data balanced between neurotypical children and those with dyscalculia
  • Flags where a child is really struggling, so support is targeted

A real diagnosis tracks speed and accuracy over many rounds like this.

Practice that never repeats

Once we know where a child needs help, CogniBeat builds an intervention from interactive games aimed at those exact gaps. Every session generates fresh challenges, so it stays engaging and there's nothing to memorise.

  • Targets counting, number comparison and core arithmetic
  • Adapts as the child improves — never too easy, never crushing
  • Progress tracking and reports for parents and teachers

Music therapy, no instrument needed

CogniBeat weaves in non-instrumental music therapy — melodic activities that train listening, and rhythmic activities built from body sounds and movement. Phones buzz in time through haptic feedback, so children feel the beat as well as hear it.

  • Strengthens the auditory and rhythmic skills linked to number sense
  • Haptic vibration turns rhythm into something physical
  • Brings the benefits of musical training to families who can't afford lessons

The idea in detail

One app that diagnoses, teaches and soothes.

CogniBeat brings together things that have never lived in the same place: a stress-free way to spot dyscalculia, a practice loop that adapts to each child, and a therapeutic music layer — all designed with educational and psychological professionals.
