The answer is an emphatic “yes.” Please refer to Dr Jacob's book, Your Baby's Brain, Intellect, and You.

How Is SmartBabies Different?

First, SmartBabies is a specialty app, it only does one thing, baby cognitive development!

While most mobile apps in this space cover all the developmental domains – physical, social, emotional, linguistic, and cognitive, SmartBabies focuses exclusively on cognitive development. App developers have built their apps upon strong mobile use cases like "never miss a moment" (baby diaries), "peace of mind" (information and guidance) or "quantified self" (child development trackers). SmartBabies does none of that. This type of app may be confusing, bewildering, even frustrating to parents. They offer literally hundreds of activities. We believe in that in this case, less is more.

Second, SmartBabies provides the most comprehensive, the most widely accepted theory in intellectual development to date, that of the world-renowned developmental authority, Jean Piaget.

Third, the activities are based on the celebrated Piaget’s sensorimotor stage, with its six stages of intellectual development in the first two years of life. Parents can follow the incremental stages of their children’s cognitive development.

Fourth, SmartBabies is supported by an-easy-read guidebook entitled Your Baby’s Brain, Intellect and You by Dr. Jacob.

Fifth, SmartBabies is supported by psychological, educational, and neuroscientific date. This claim is confirmed by the research findings outlined in the companion guidebook to the app.

Sixth, the app is global in nature. Cognitive development in the first two years is universal, it transcends cultural as well as language influences of the child. Therefore, with little or no modification, our app can be translated to any language. The market for our app is potentially limitless. All that needs to be done to keep up with the trends is to adapt the app presentation to the parents of different cultures.
