History & Development
TeachAids is an award-winning social venture that creates breakthrough technology to solve persistent problems in health education around the world.
Spun out of Stanford University in 2009, the founding research behind TeachAids — a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization — was grounded in Dr. Piya Sorcar’s doctoral work. This effort grew into a collaborative consortium of world-class experts from disciplines including education, medicine, communications, technology, and design thinking. The Institutional Review Board-approved research and methodology has demonstrated statistically significant gains in learning and retention, and provided the highest learning effects and comfort rates of any tested educational approach.
