Story
Why KOR’K exists, and who builds it.
01 · The origin
My little brother
KOR’K comes from my little brother. When he was 4, we, his family, saw things every day that nobody else saw: how he reacted, how he played, how he lived in his surroundings. Without knowing what to do with it.
KOR’K is the tool I wish we had had back then. Not to watch over him: to finally be able to tell the doctor, “look, this is what we see, every day”.
The vision
A world where no child grows up without being understood.
The name
- KOR
- For Korczak, the educator who put the protection of children at the centre.
- CORE
- The centre, the essential.
- CORTEX
- The brain: understanding how a child grows.
02 · The need
What KOR’K is for
KOR’K helps you move from an impression to dated, concrete observations that you can share with your doctor.
The answers are scattered: forums, the health record book, appointments spread far apart.
I wanted to start from something else: spontaneous videos of real life, which are more concrete and more telling. The parent keeps a dated record, and can bring precise examples to their doctor.
What comes next belongs to the doctor: looking, interpreting, deciding. KOR’K helps people observe; it does not replace the doctor’s advice. An aid to observation, never a diagnosis.
03 · Who I am
Amdy Bouviala
The urge to build things came early. At 16, I taught myself web design and development, and launched DDale, my agency, with real clients. I now study business at EDHEC and data and AI at Albert School and Mines Paris – PSL. KOR’K is not my first project, but it is the first one that comes from something personal.
