YACOB

Dubai, United Arab Emirates

YACOB is a nutrition management platform that facilitates communication and operational flow between children, parents, schools & food vendors. YACOB's mission is to enhance children's and parents health behaviour related to nutrition and physical activity both at home and at school. Based on holistic data ranging from children's current health levels to their eating habits and physical activity patterns and up to sleeping and screen time balance - in correlation with the international standards set by the WHO, we are developing an adaptive gamified framework in order to trigger children's desire and determination to become healthier. Our adaptive gamified framework is a blend of physical, digital and phygital tools - from fitness tests to healthy food tastings up to online challenges and competitions based on wearables data, thus creating a seamless flow of experiences across the environments where children already enjoy being.

What do you think of YACOB?

A HUGE part of what early stage companies, and even late stage ones, need and get on MedStartr is honest feedback from actual patients, clinicians, hospital leaders and industry insiders. It is very easy to get tunnel vision as a founder. Please tell the team that runs this company what you think.

Clinical Benefit Potential

The potential for a project to have a large and significant impact on medical care, treatment, or prevention.

Feasibility

The likelihood that this will provide benefit for patients / care givers and that the founders can execute on their vision and plan.

Innovativeness

The distinguishing features, concept, or technology that differentiates the entry compared to others that already exist and are in widespread use.

Fundability

The reviewers' beliefs that the idea is fundable or can make it to sustainability without outside investment.

Scalability

Some great ideas are destined to failure because they are too complex or too expensive. The reviewer should consider the likelihood that a project as explained, or perhaps with some tweaks, could possibly become a worldwide solution within a reasonable time frame.

Presentation Quality

How well the team presented the idea.
