Oyalabs is an evidence-based platform for new parents that allows them to monitor and improve their child's development.
Our mission is to translate ground-breaking science into innovative products that empower families to raise lifelong learners. Founded by a Stanford neuroscientist and a father of 2 young boys, our first product is Wunder, which is the first personalized, science-based platform to help new parents lead their little ones learning journey through play, imagination, and collaborative curiosity. The first idea for Oyalabs came about when our founder's first son was born with a congenital medical condition and he was looking for a science-based resource for parents to ensure they are stimulating not just physical but also cognitive development of their child - knowing 0-3 is the most critical period for intervention as 90% of the brain grows then. After positive results from a clinical study, in Summer 2017, we created Wunder to help harness predictive technologies to build tools to nurture not only Lamont’s own sons, as well as something meaningful and impactful for all families. Our technology has been shown to improve a child's language and cognitive outcomes in a research trial and has won the Best of BabyTech Learn & Play award at CES 2018. Based on the data and interactive curriculum in the Wunder app, the platform recommends parents age-appropriate activities, books and toys to teach and motivate parents to provide the most stimulating learning experience for their everyday bonding. Wunder is currently in Beta and parents with children between 0-24 months can apply to get access here: www.hellowunder.com/beta
