Emoface

Emoface is an EdTech/MedTech startup, founded in 2020 in Grenoble, France. The startup is the result of an R&D project with Grenoble Alpes University and INRIA and is developing a new digital therapy based on 3D avatars that mimic emotions in real time.

EMOFACE provides a digital therapy solution for the treatment of social interaction difficulties for populations with learning disabilities, such as autism. The solution involves a new learning methodology based on interaction with data-driven emotional 3D avatars.

EMOFACE develops applications and training services to support these people throughout their lives. EMOFACE is an avatar-based 3D technology that provides:
- an adaptive digital therapy toolbox for autism
- enhanced medical technology to treat learning disabilities
- mental health technology to enable young people to learn about their emotions and better integrate into society.
EMOFACE is aimed at health and education professionals and carers. Our EMOFACE Play&Learn Emotions application has been downloaded by over 15,000 professionals and families. A clinical usability study with 50 autistic patients demonstrated improved emotion recognition.
