The Jiveesha ecosystem

One child. One record.

From the early years to the classroom
and beyond.

Jiveesha connects home, Anganwadi, school and clinic, so a
child’s developmental history stays with the child.

The whole idea, in one picture

Help for children already exists. Their story does not travel with them.

One record runs through all four.
Wherever the child goes, the history goes too.

Jiveesha is the connecting layer.

How many children

About 1 in 8 children may need developmental support.

Children aged 2 to 9 with a neurodevelopmental condition1 in 8

12.5% of children aged 2 to 9

Children recorded with special needs in school data0.89%

0.89%, fewer than 1 in 100 school children

more children may need support than school records show.

Most are never identified, so they never reach help.

How late, and how far from help

Children are identified late, and help is hard to reach.

18 to 24 monthsscreening can start

4.6 yearsaverage age autism is identified

8 to 12 yearslearning disabilities identified

04

Where it breaks

Every time a child moves, the story starts again from a blank page.

At home

Early worries
are never
written down.

What parents notice in the
first years rarely reaches
anyone else.

At Class 1

Six years of
Anganwadi
observation stay
behind.

The teacher meets the
child with a blank page.

At referral

The clinic starts
again from zero.

Weeks go into
reassessing what others
have already seen.

After therapy

The plan does not
reach home.

Families cannot see
progress, so many
stop coming.

This is not about effort. Every part of the system works hard. What is missing is the record that connects them.

Jiveesha screens. Professionals diagnose, through a set clinical pathway.

05

Why now

Everything a connected record needs is finally in place.

Policy

Screening is
already required.

RPWD Act 2016, NEP
2020 and RBSK all call
for early identification.

Digital rails

The rails are
already built.

UDISE+, APAAR,
Poshan Tracker and
ABHA already hold
children’s records.

Awareness

Parents are
asking for
answers.

More families notice
early signs and look
for help.

India-calibrated
AI

AI now works in
Indian languages.

Speech, handwriting
and voice can be
screened in a child’s
own language.

Regulation

Clear rules for
child data.

The DPDP Act 2023
sets consent rules.
Jiveesha is built
for them.

Now: the mandate, the rails and the tools exist at the same time.
