Testimonials

Dr. Eric Tyler, MD
Pediatrician in Atlanta
SoftSpot is a comprehensive solution to raise awareness about head deformity conditions and provide quantitative and repeatable head shape assessment and monitoring to prevent late diagnosis.
Pediatrician in Maryland
SoftSpot will empower pediatricians with early detection and monitoring of different types of head deformities and abnormalities, including positional plagiocephaly. This can potentially decrease the time to detection so that families can start interventions sooner.
Neurosurgeon in DC
For a number of parents, the lack of awareness or the high cost of helmet therapy have made it difficult for them to treat and I would definitely recommend this app to all concerned parents.
