Children's Anxiety With Hospital Procedures: A Father's Digital Solution

Wisdom Shared with Carole Blueweiss

Episode Summary:

In this episode, we meet Dom Raban, a designer, software developer, and father of Issy. Issy underwent cancer treatment at age 13. While Issy is now a young adult and cancer-free, the lack of information given to Issy during her treatments prompted her father to create a child-centered app called Xploro. This amazing app was designed to improve the health literacy of children, to decrease procedural anxiety, and to improve the hospital experience for all children and their families.
