DXTR Labs (private company)

playDXTR is developed by the Danish Life Science company DXTR Tactile.

The idea for DXTR (pronounced like that famous cartoon child genius, or, that bad guy from that one television series) came out of a University project at the University of Southern Denmark in 2013, and started out as an idea of a medical device for training and diagnostic work for people with Parkinson’s disease.

Almost a year in we did the infamous "pivot" into a Smart Toy for kids which was also tool for their parents. Since then our passion for play has grown alongside the product development.

Through playDXTR, we are eager to better understand what play can tell us about how a child is developing and how we can maximize the learning potential in each individual child, in a fun way!
