How it reaches
Care travels to the child.
Not another clinic in a city. A phone in a courtyard four hours from the nearest therapist, and a centre that can see what happened there.
What the platform generates

Rehabilitation that ends in a young adult who earns. A dependant becomes a contributor.
A domestic care economy
Centres, therapists, trainers and tools that did not exist here before — built in Bangladesh rather than imported.
National data
The country's first structured record of neurodevelopmental care, which policy can finally be written against.
