Announcement Content:
WA Minister for Innovation, Bill Marmion, today announced KinChip Systems as a winner of the Government Chief Innovation Office inaugural Start IT Up WA Challenge.
KinChip Systems and its child development platform, āKindomā, were awarded the major prize of $50,000, with āAll of Meā and āHacker Palsā sharing the remainder of the the $100,000 total prize pool.
Start IT Up WA Challenge is an innovative new program to nurture innovative, technology-based solutions to government problems, and build capability within the Western Australian startup community. In addition to cash, winners are awarded preferred provider status with the WA Government and have the opportunity to develop, beta test and demonstrate the commercial viability of their project in collaboration with a State Government agency.
Kindom was founded by Cath Resnick and Gry Stene. ā1 in 6 children has a developmental disability.ā Mrs Resnick said. āWith child development services siloed between health, education and social, many children fall through the gaps, fail to get diagnosed, or simply donāt get the support they need, when they need it.ā
Kindom has worked to solve this problem by providing one place where parents can store all their childās health, education and social development records, along with their own reflections on their childās developmental journey. It integrates the latest in artificial intelligence to guide parents through the system. With a parent centred approach to data sharing, Kindom also provides full care circle visibility to all members and a childās care team. This facilitates collaboration, communication and ultimately reduces misdiagnosis and over-servicing.
Kindomās development is overseen by Gry Stene. āToday we CAN create tools that provide relevant, quality information and resources that aid early discovery and interventionā Ms Stene said. āImagine if we had discovered this earlier?ā
KinChip Systems are thrilled to be the inaugural winners of the Start IT Up WA Challenge, and look forward to working with the West Australian Government to improve child development outcomes in WA.
