IamHero

IamHero S.r.l. is a digital health startup that develops therapeutic environments based on gamification for young patients with neurodevelopmental disorders. Founded in 2019, the company is headquartered in Naples, Italy, with a branch in Milan. IamHero's mission is to innovate care processes for preschool, primary, and secondary school-aged children facing challenges such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), autism, and specific learning disorders (SLD).

The company's core offering is a VR-based system that combines serious games with personalized cognitive-behavioral therapy. This platform is designed for use in clinics under the supervision of specialized therapists. It utilizes virtual reality (VR) and motion-sensing equipment to create immersive and engaging experiences, aiming to increase patient focus and participation. The system also features a gamification app for continuing personalized therapy at home and a management platform for therapists to analyze data and track progress. A key feature is the integration of AI for predictive therapy planning, which analyzes real-time data to tailor sessions to individual patient needs.

IamHero's business model is centered on a B2B approach, targeting specialized professionals and clinics with a yearly subscription for its VR-based system. The company has received funding through initiatives like "Campania Start Up 2020" and the NODES program to industrialize and commercialize its game-based learning environment. Clinical studies have shown promising results, with improvements observed in both ADHD symptoms and executive functions in children who used the IamHero tool. The company actively seeks partnerships with private clinics, hospitals, and universities to expand the implementation of its technology and make a lasting impact on the healthcare sector.
