About
Little Journey is a digital eSupport platform that psychologically prepares, informs and supports children and families before, during and after healthcare procedures and clinical trials – all from the comfort and safety of their own home.
Designed to reduce healthcare-induced anxiety, the Little Journey platform has been co-created with children, families and healthcare staff to provide end-to-end support throughout each hospital journey including those coming for surgery, MRI and many more procedures. Additional modules can support children with adherence to medication, collect patient experience outcome data and learn more about families’ individual needs, preferences and health behaviours.
The Little Journey smartphone app delivers interactive and engaging content tailored to a child’s age, procedure type and hospital. An accompanying Little Journey web portal, accessed by healthcare staff, enables organisations to configure the app content, building virtual patient pathways and editing key information in near real time.
Now available in multiple languages and supporting a variety of procedures, Little Journey can help organisations world wide enhance patient experience, improve mental and physical wellbeing, and make clinical trials and healthcare more efficient.
