Abstract
This article presents the design concept of "Mantiq," a Play-to-Learn mobile application for early monitoring of speech and cognitive development in children aged 4–8. The study identifies the gap in interactive educational tools for Uzbek-speaking preschoolers and proposes a culturally adapted digital solution. The platform integrates four learning modules — Grammar, Vocabulary, Puzzles, and Development — grounded in gamification and supported by professionally recorded Uzbek-language audio. The article covers the platform's architecture, business model, development roadmap, and prospective features including AI-based speech analysis, dyslexia detection, and a logopedist marketplace. Market analysis confirms that Mantiq addresses a critical need among over five million preschool-age children in Uzbekistan.
