DAWN AI

The Global Operating System for Neuro-Inclusion.

DAWN is an AI-native ecosystem solving the global "Diagnostic Cliff" for 1.5 billion neurodivergent individuals. By leveraging our proprietary Neuro-Foundational Model (NFM) and high-performance NVIDIA DGX infrastructure, we provide OASIS—a gamified, clinical-grade PWA that turns behavioral tokens into real-time learning insights. DAWN bridges the gap from pediatric therapy to adult productivity,

Target group
Our dream is to move the global education system from a "Standardized Model" to a "Sovereign Model." For over a century, education has been an industrial-era assembly line that forces diverse human minds to fit a single, rigid mold. Those who don’t fit—the neurodivergent, the "differently-wired," or those in underserved regions—are labeled as "disabled" or "difficult."

About the innovation

Why did you create this innovation?

We created DAWN™ because the global journey for neurodivergent individuals is fundamentally broken. Currently, a child in Lagos or London can wait over 18 months for a neuro-diagnostic assessment. During this "Waitlist Crisis," critical windows for brain development close, and the economic potential of 1.5 billion people is ignored.
Furthermore, 90% of global neuro-data is Western-centric, creating a massive "data bias" that leads to misdiagnosis in the Global South. We refused to accept a world where your neurotype or your geography dictates your destiny. We built DAWN™ to bridge this "Diagnostic Cliff." By combining high-performance computing with deep empathy, we are building a "Sovereign AI" ecosystem that moves beyond fragmented apps to provide a unified, global operating system for neuro-inclusion. Our mission is to ensure that every mind, regardless of its "wiring," has the infrastructure to thrive.

What does your innovation look like in practice?

In practice, DAWN™ is a seamless, multimodal ecosystem powered by AIDA (our AI Diagnostic Agent). It begins with OASIS—a gamified, clinical-grade environment where children engage in "Neuro-Play." While they play, AIDA non-intrusively analyzes kinetic behavioral tokens, speech patterns, and cognitive responses in real-time.
This data is processed on our high-performance NVIDIA DGX infrastructure to feed the world's first diverse Neuro-Foundational Model (NFM). For educators, this translates into an "Inclusion Dashboard" that provides instant, actionable support plans instead of months-long reports. For adults, the system scales into AEON for workforce inclusion and stroke recovery. In rural areas, our innovation takes the form of ORBIT—offline-first hardware that runs AIDA at the "edge," bringing $1M lab-grade diagnostics to a village with zero internet. It is a "Full-Stack" solution from pediatric screening to adult productivity.

How has it been spreading?

DAWN’s growth is driven by "High-Velocity Scaling" and a commitment to capital efficiency. We have already touched the lives of over 500,000 global users across our systems. Our expansion follows a "Global Hub" model, with our flagship hub in Lagos serving as a center for community and data collection that informs our global strategy.
We have achieved a Life-Time Revenue (LTR) of $161,000 USD on just a $60,000 initial angel investment—a 2.6x return on capital that proves profound product-market fit. By utilizing a Progressive Web App (PWA) strategy, we bypassed the "App Store Tax" to reach underserved communities instantly. Our growth is supported by an advisory board of top executives from Google, NVIDIA, and Meta, helping us scale across Africa, the UK, and the Americas. We are currently raising a $1M Seed Bridge to accelerate this momentum and bring our Neuro-Foundational Model to 5 million users by 2027.

How have you modified or added to your innovation?

We have evolved from a simple diagnostic tool into a "Sovereign AI Conglomerate." A major technical pivot was the transition to an agentic architecture; AIDA is no longer just a "screener" but an active agent that provides real-time interventions. We also expanded our scope to include AEON, recognizing that neuro-support must be a lifelong journey, not just a K-12 intervention.
To eliminate algorithmic bias, we made a strategic investment in our backend infrastructure, using NVIDIA DGX clusters to train our NFM on the world's most diverse neuro-phenotypic dataset. This allows us to offer clinical-grade precision across different cultures and languages. Additionally, we developed the ORBIT hardware prototype to solve the connectivity gap, ensuring our AI can run in "Offline-First" environments. This move from "Software-Only" to "Hardware-as-a-Moat" ensures that DAWN™ can serve the "Bottom Billion" as effectively as it serves urban centers.

If I want to try it, what should I do?

To experience the future of neuro-inclusion, visit our website at dawnaistudy.com access the DAWN PWA. Educators and schools can sign up for a pilot program to deploy AIDA-powered screenings in their classrooms and access our inclusion dashboards. For clinicians and Pharma partners, we offer access to our DAWN Health data portal for phenotypic research and drug discovery insights.
If you are located in a region with limited connectivity, you can register through the DAWN Foundation to be part of our upcoming ORBIT hardware deployment phase. Whether you are a parent looking for support, a teacher looking for insights, or an investor looking for the next frontier in AI, we invite you to join our fierce movement. Stop waiting on a list and start building a path—the sun is rising on a new era of human potential.
