Asteroid Technologies and Háblalo[edit]

By seeing his mother's work as a teacher for deaf people,[9] Salvatto developed the Háblalo app at the age of 18,[10] which assists people who suffer from communication difficulties, such as deafness, hearing loss, cerebral palsy, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, autism spectrum disorder, aphasias, among others.[2] Háblalo is free, it has around 125,000 users[5] in 55 countries,[11] and works in more than 50 languages.[1]

In 2021 he joined as a columnist the radio show “Diego a la tarde”, hosted by journalist Diego Leuco on Radio Mitre,[20] where he started his podcast "10 Minutos para Cambiar el Mundo (“10 Minutes to Change the World”).[21] That same year he published, along with his brother Augusto Salvatto, the book La Batalla del Futuro: Algo en qué creer (The Battle of the Future: Something to believe in).[22] In 2023, both brothers published their second book, País de Mierda: Ideas y Reflexiones sobre el Mejor País del Mundo (Country of Shit: Ideas and Reflections on the Best Country in the World).[23]
