Memby
Pediatric organizations, including the American Academy of Pediatrics, have called for a "prescription for play" to address the critical decline in children's play, which has been linked to declines in math and reading scores, school readiness, and increases in anxiety, depression, and attachment issues. Despite these calls since 2007, no structured tool has existed for providers to integrate play into clinical care and ensure follow through in the home. Memby is a software platform that enables healthcare and play based providers to create, prescribe, and track prescriptions for play in the home, starting from birth.

Problem
Pediatric organizations, including the American Academy of Pediatrics, have called for a "prescription for play" to address the critical decline in children's play, which has been linked to declines in math and reading scores, school readiness, and increases in anxiety, depression, and attachment issues. Despite these calls since 2007, no structured tool has existed for providers to integrate play into clinical care and ensure follow-through in the home.
Solution
Memby is a software platform that enables healthcare and play-based providers to create, prescribe, and track prescriptions for play in the home, starting from birth. The platform serves as post-visit software that connects clinical and cultural institutions—such as museums, therapists, pediatricians, and play-based centers—with families. Providers can design structured play programs, prescribe them to patients and families, and track completion and progress over time through a dedicated app available on iOS and Android devices.
Target Audience
Primary users are healthcare providers (pediatricians, therapists) and play-based institutions (museums, play-based centers) who want to prescribe structured play activities to families and monitor follow-through between visits.
Features
- Mobile application for iOS and Android that allows families to access and complete play-based programs prescribed by their providers
- Provider-facing tools for creating, prescribing, and tracking play prescriptions tailored to individual patients starting from birth
- Post-visit follow-through capabilities that extend the impact of museum visits, therapy sessions, and pediatric check-ups into the home environment
- Program management designed for art-based and play-based providers, including museums, therapists, pediatricians, and play-based centers
- Progress monitoring that enables providers to track patient engagement and developmental outcomes over time
