Conceived in the burns unit to help kids through painful procedures, ditto apps are now available for all sorts of treatments right across the hospital. Now on Apple devices they are just what the doctor ordered! These interactive apps help children cope with a range of painful medical procedures. Our animated characters take children on a step-by-step interactive journey to help them understand the procedure and reduce their stress and anxiety. As well as reducing children’s pain these apps improve clinic productivity.

The effectiveness of these apps has been proven in 8 randomized clinical trials which have shown:

· Significantly improved patient outcomes
· Lower patient pain scores
· Improved efficiency and clinic productivity
· Reduced healing times
· Reduced clinical costs
· Alleviation of parental anxiety

Ben has a blood test is an interactive procedural preparation story centered around Ben who is at the hospital with his mother
to have a blood test. Designed for use by children before their treatment, this story prepares them for the standard procedures,
people and medical instruments they are about to come into contact with during their visit to the hospital.
While having fun getting to know Ben, his mum and Nurse Marie, children will be asked to find certain objects to progress
to the next scene. The view can be rotated and swiveled 360 degrees around the scene to look for objects simply
by tipping and turning the iPad.

Turning kid's stress around...
