FAQ KOI – The School Doctor | School Health Programs

1

What specific problem in pre-schools are you solving — and how serious / widespread is it?

Most children’s health issues go unnoticed until they become serious.

In children aged 2-6:

1 in 5 have vision issues that affect learning
1 in 3 have nutrition-related concerns
Behavioral signs of stress, speech delay, hyperactivity often missed
Parents rarely have structured health data
Schools lack tools to detect or track health patterns
Preschool staff are not trained for early detection

KOI-The School Doctor offers clinical-grade, child-friendly annual health checks with digital reports and school dashboards – bringing preventive care directly into preschools.

2

Why do pre-schools (or parents) need this solution now? What makes it especially relevant today?

Because children’s health patterns have changed dramatically in the last 5 years:

Increased screen time → more vision issues & sleep disturbances
Processed foods → rising obesity and nutritional imbalance
Smaller families → delayed identification of developmental delays
Post-pandemic → higher anxiety, speech issues, socialization delays
Schools have become the first line of visibility, but not the first line of support.

Parents today actively choose schools that prioritize wellbeing + academics. Schools that adopt The School Doctor demonstrate they are modern, preventative, data-driven institutions — not just teaching centers.

3

Who is your primary customer — pre-school institutions, parents, or both? And how did you validate that this is a real need?

Primary customer :Pre-school institutions

Secondary beneficiary :Parents

Validation sources :

Review of WHO child health guidelines & gaps in current school systems.
Market studies showing parents increasingly value holistic development over academics alone.
Schools confirmed that they want a simple, affordable, repeatable health-monitoring system to differentiate themselves and reassure parents.
Add-ons (nutrition plans, workshops, follow-ups) deepen engagement.

4

How sticky is the solution?

Extremely sticky, because :

Health Report Cards are annual or bi-annual → built-in repeatability.
Parents expect year-on-year tracking, making renewal natural.
Schools use reports for parent meetings, admissions, and brand positioning.
Teachers use insights to improve classroom behaviour & learning support.
Data builds longitudinal value — the more years a school stays, the richer its child-development history becomes
Add-ons (nutrition plans, workshops, follow-ups) deepen engagement.

5

What are the risks (regulatory, adoption by schools, competition)?

Risk	Mitigation Rooted in Our Mission
