Empowering young patients with information

About us

Xploro is a digital platform that bridges the healthcare information gap. It revolutionizes the pediatric healthcare experience by offering interactive and engaging educational content through gamification and personalized experiences. Our goal is to transform the healthcare experience of children and their families. We leverage technology and storytelling to make medical therapy and interventions less daunting and more manageable. Our mission is to improve the well-being of young patients facing healthcare challenges, allowing them to face their treatments with resilience and optimism. Why Xploro? In November 2011 Xploro founder Dom Raban received the heartbreaking news that doctors had diagnosed his 13-year-old daughter, Issy, with Ewing’s Sarcoma, a rare bone cancer. She has since made a full recovery and as a young adult, is now cancer-free but when she was ill nobody told her what to expect and that made her feel scared, anxious and alone. She was resistant to treatments because their purpose wasn’t explained to her and she feared new hospital environments because she didn’t know what to expect. But this problem isn’t unique to Issy. Patients who are poorly informed experience high levels of anxiety which can be long-lived and lead to poor engagement with health services and poorer health outcomes. But lack of prior information doesn't just impact the patient's mental health and long-term health outcomes. When patients aren't emotionally prepared this can result in procedures having to be repeated, longer appointment times, greater need for for pre-procedural sedation, reduced adherence to medicine regimes and an increase in missed appointments – all of which considerably increase the cost burden on health services.

    🌟 𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐌𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 🌟 Listening to a child’s voice is essential to understanding the real impact of their treatment, but it’s a challenge many healthcare professionals face. Capturing children’s experiences in a way that’s both engaging for them and valuable for you has long been a missing piece in pediatric care. That’s where #Xploro comes in. Our platform bridges that gap, giving kids a fun, interactive way to share their symptoms and feelings. At the same time, it provides you with the tools to systematically collect and present this crucial information, ensuring no child’s voice is overlooked. With the recent development of features like 𝐐𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐬 and 𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬, we’ve made it even easier for you to gather and understand what your youngest patients are really going through, helping you deliver more personalized and effective care. We’re here to help you unlock clearer, more effective communication with your young patients. 💛
