Grailmaker Innovations

Grailmaker Innovations is an assistive technology startup developing affordable and appropriate solutions for persons with disabilities. Their diverse 5-member core team, including two individuals with visual impairments, began as volunteers in visual rehabilitation, ensuring their solutions are truly inclusive and user-centered. Their flagship product, ‘Vision Nanny,’ addresses Cerebral Visual Impairment (CVI), the leading cause of childhood blindness affecting 36 million children globally. This SaaS platform offers AI-powered, CVI-specific vision therapy that cuts intervention costs by 50% and provides 3x more engaging vision time compared to conventional methods. Its fully-customizable therapy activities can be adapted to each child’s unique needs. They’ve piloted with 50 children and are preparing for long-term studies. Since their November 2023 soft launch, Vision Nanny has attracted 170 paying early-adopter therapists, impacting over 3,000 children. It’s utilized in 8 tertiary-level rehabilitation centers across 4 organizations. Their reach extends to 10+ countries, with 50% of users in India and 20% in the US. They aim to impact 1 million children in five years by enhancing their AI capabilities, adapting to diverse cultural contexts, and building global partnerships. Their long-term vision is to establish Vision Nanny as a comprehensive solution for all vision-related interventions, reducing healthcare inequalities worldwide.
