AI in Myofunctional Therapy: Meet NURTO
NURTO brings AI-powered games to children’s myofunctional home practice, connecting kids, parents, and providers between appointments.
Myofunctional exercises happen between appointments. How do we help children actually practice?
NURTO is a children’s myofunctional exercise app that combines AI-supported camera feedback, interactive games, and provider tools to make home practice more engaging.
NURTO connects children, parents, and providers around daily routines.
How does NURTO use AI in myofunctional therapy?
NURTO uses camera-based movement detection to respond to selected mouth and facial movements during exercise games. Children participate in challenges involving movements such as lip closure, cheek puffing, smiling, and tongue movement.
Instead of simply watching a demonstration, children become part of the game.
The feedback responds to visible movements; it does not diagnose conditions, assess whether an exercise is clinically correct, or replace a provider’s assessment.
Helping families practice between visits
Parents juggle busy schedules. Children may forget instructions or lose interest in repetitive exercises.
NURTO brings home practice into an interactive experience:
Children follow exercise games with feedback and rewards.
Parents support routines and follow participation.
Providers use participation information families choose to share to guide follow-up conversations.
Activity completion records participation, not technique or clinical progress. Families can review their activity logs and discuss them with their provider.
AI in myo, with providers guiding care
For families and professionals exploring AI in myo, NURTO offers a practical application: supporting children’s participation at home.
Exercise choices and any care decisions remain with the child’s qualified provider. NURTO offers games designed to make daily practice easier to return to.
