Griffin Christenson, Founder at Gryfn.AI. Gryfn.AI offers AI-powered tools to help educators and parents identify signs of dyslexia in children through a fast, research-backed online screening test. The platform provides detailed insights into reading ability and potential learning difficulties, using speech and language processing to deliver personalized reports and recommendations.
As an optometrist and computer science enthusiast, Griffin Christenson, O.D., is merging clinical insight with tech innovation to reshape how we screen for dyslexia. With a background in biology and a doctorate from Pacific University, he’s developed an AI-powered MVP that digitizes and automates dyslexia risk detection—making early intervention more accessible. Now refining the project through global entrepreneurship training, Griffin’s mission is to fuse vision science with cutting-edge tools to improve care. Outside the clinic, he enjoys time with his wife, dog Lambeau, and cat Oliver.
Episode Highlights:
- Griffin shares his journey from becoming an optometrist to pursuing a master’s in computer science, driven by a fascination with AI sparked during board exam prep.
- Inspired by his father and Dr. John Griffin’s work in dyslexia diagnostics, Griffin digitized a paper-based screening test to identify dyslexia risks efficiently.
- The Gryfn AI screener presents words briefly on-screen for users to pronounce, using speech-to-text tech to assess accuracy and risk.
- Gryfn AI aims to open-source its code to expand access to early screening and partner with schools for automated testing.
- Griffin’s wife is launching Clarify Reading for remote dyslexia therapy, and he’s exploring tech-forward ventures in eye care and wearable devices.
