Smart pen detects pressure and movement to identify children's writing difficulties sooner
A study by Politecnico di Milano and the University of Insubria (Varese and Como) has been published in PLOS Digital Health.

This is the most widely used test in Italy for assessing writing difficulties, dysgraphia and dysorthography.
