The technological part of the project has already been developed, and the application is ready at approximately 80%. Its practical testing is ongoing with the participation of child psychiatrists and psychotherapists.

They also considered opportunities to attract Finnish technologies in prosthetics and rehabilitation, taking into account the experience of Lviv centers UNBROKEN and Superhumans.
