Adfectus is developing a unique digital tool with the aim of simplifying the dissemination of information for children.
Children in hospitals and institutions are entitled to (1) adapted information, and (2) influence their own treatment and their own course of illness. With current systems, tools and routines, these requirements are not met. At the same time, children today are well acquainted with creating a character of their own in the digital arena, called avatars. Avatars are used to express emotions through the use of facial expressions, body language and personal accessories. The knowledge children have about the digital, we want to take advantage of and use during children's treatment process. The solution to Adfectus consists of a mobile application where children receive customized information, and have the opportunity to give feedback and express emotions using their own avatars, drawings and illustrations.
