Project: “Dyslexia affects several people worldwide and impedes their ability to read and write, hindering their overall education process. While existing interventions and assistive technology have shown promise, there is an urgent need for a more holistic and comprehensive solution to the various issues of dyslexia in the form of an innovative mobile application. The goal of this research project is to design, develop, and test the efficacy of an app that combines personalized learning, assistive features, and therapy support to empower people with dyslexia and improve their overall learning experience and quality of life.“
