Logifera Is Taking Off! Congratulations to Leo and Ivy on Their Learning Technology Startup Achievements

by RIVRT Press Media

RIVRT is excited to congratulate Leo Matthias Sturm, Zi Fu YIN Ivy and Alex on the fantastic progress of Logifera — a student innovation project that is quickly growing into a promising learning technology startup. 🎉

Logifera began from Leo’s dyslexia-related project and has now developed into a platform that helps people better understand their learning profiles through free, science-backed screeners. 🧠✨

In simple words: Logifera helps learners find out why reading, spelling, maths, attention, or listening may feel harder than expected — and gives them a clearer starting point for getting support. 🌱

💡 What Is Logifera?

Many children, students, and adults struggle with learning challenges but may not know whether these difficulties are related to dyslexia, dyscalculia, ADHD, auditory processing, or something else.

Formal assessment can sometimes feel expensive, stressful, or difficult to access. Logifera aims to make the first step easier. ✅

The platform offers free online screeners that are:

  • Accessible — no credit card required 💳❌
  • Self-paced — users can complete the screeners in their own time ⏳
  • Evidence-informed — based on science-backed screening ideas 🔬
  • Practical — users receive immediate results and a downloadable report 📄
  • Low-pressure — designed as a starting point, not a formal diagnosis 🤝

Logifera is not a replacement for professional diagnosis, but it can help users understand their learning profile and prepare for a future consultation with a specialist.

🧩 Current Screeners

Logifera currently focuses on two major learning areas:

📖 Dyslexia Screener

The Dyslexia Screener looks at areas such as:

  • reading
  • spelling
  • phonological processing
  • handwriting
  • comprehension
  • related cognitive skills

It includes 15 assessments across three modules. 🧠

🔢 Dyscalculia Screener

The Dyscalculia Screener focuses on maths-related difficulties, including:

  • number sense
  • math facts
  • calculation
  • estimation
  • working memory
  • visual-spatial processing

It includes 14 assessments across three modules. ✍️

🔜 Coming Soon

Logifera is also preparing future screeners for:

  • ADHD ⚡
  • Auditory Processing Disorder, APD 👂

These additions will further expand the platform’s ability to support different learning needs.

🌱 From Student Project to Real-World Impact

Leo, Ivy, and Alex have also been part of RIVRT’s Multi-level Competition-Based Learning with International Learning Exposure initiative.

Through this programme, students are encouraged to learn by doing — forming teams, developing research-based projects, joining competitions, presenting their ideas, and receiving feedback from academics, industry experts, and judges. 💬

Previously, RIVRT students and project teams achieved several exciting results, including:

  • Poster Session Best Presenters Award at ICEMT 2025 🖼️
  • Merit Prize in Innovation & IT at the 11th Hong Kong University Student Innovation and Entrepreneurship Competition 💻
  • Silver Award at the 8th Global Competition on Design for Future Education 🥈

Logifera is a great example of what can happen when research, mentorship, competition-based learning, and entrepreneurship come together.

What started as a student project is now moving toward something bigger: a practical platform that may help many learners better understand themselves. 🌟

❤️ Why This Matters

Learning difficulties are often misunderstood. Many people grow up thinking they are “bad at reading,” “bad at maths,” or “not focused enough,” without ever receiving clear guidance.

Logifera aims to change that. ✨

By offering free and accessible screeners, the platform gives users an easier way to begin asking important questions:

  • Why do I struggle with reading? 📖
  • Why is mental maths so difficult for me? 🔢
  • Could my learning challenges have a deeper reason? 🧠
  • What should I discuss with a teacher, parent, therapist, or specialist? 🤝

This is exactly the kind of human-centered technology that RIVRT is proud to support — technology that does not only innovate, but also helps people. 💙

🎉 Congratulations!

RIVRT warmly congratulates Leo Matthias Sturm, Zi Fu YIN Ivy, and the Logifera team on these wonderful achievements.

We are excited to see Logifera continue to grow, compete, and develop into an impactful platform for learners of all ages. 🌍

Keep going, Team Logifera — this is only the beginning! 🚀
