AI-Guided Myofunctional Exercises for Kids
NURTO helps children practice guided myofunctional exercises, breathing activities, and healthy oral routines between professional visits.
If you've landed here wondering "wait, what exactly does this app do," here's the short answer.
NURTO is a daily home base for the health habits kids are supposed to do on their own, but usually need a little help actually doing. Myofunctional exercises, brushing, breathing practice, even nighttime snoring checks. Instead of five different reminders, checklists, and guesses, it's one place where the progress is real and you can see it.
The problem NURTO solves
Most kids' health routines run on the honor system. A provider sends home an exercise plan. A dentist says "remind them to brush for two minutes." A sleep specialist wants to know if snoring is getting better or worse. And in between appointments, parents are left piecing together what actually happened from memory and hope.
NURTO provides a day-by-day log of completed activities and general wellness observations.
What's actually inside the app
Airway Gym
Guided myofunctional and speech-related games, such as tongue lifts, cheek puffs, and lip seal holds, can use on-device camera cues for game feedback. This feedback does not evaluate whether a movement is clinically correct.
Brushing
Turns the twice-a-day brushing routine into something trackable and consistent, instead of a rushed thirty seconds before bed.
Breathing Games
Guided breathing practice built as something closer to a game than a worksheet.
Dream Guard
Nighttime monitoring support, so parents and providers have real information about sleep patterns, not a guess based on how tired everyone seems in the morning.
Why it's built like a game, on purpose
Kids don't do routines because they're told to. They do things they enjoy. So every part of NURTO is wrapped in a world your child actually wants to open: a creature companion that grows with real progress, coins earned for showing up, daily quests instead of a chore list, and streaks worth keeping.
Underneath the fun, the app records completed activities so families can review the practice routine.
Who it's for
NURTO is built for kids working through prescribed routines, whether that's therapy from a myofunctional or airway specialist, a habit a dentist wants reinforced, or a broader wellness routine a parent is trying to build. Every account starts with a parent or guardian setting things up, and stays that way.
What NURTO isn't
Worth being straightforward about this: NURTO is not a replacement for your child's therapist, dentist, or physician. It can support a home practice routine and provide an activity log, but it does not determine whether a treatment plan is working.
Try it
If your family is juggling any combination of therapy exercises, brushing routines, or sleep concerns, NURTO is built to make all of it visible in one place, for you and for the providers helping your child.
