The application Bone marrow transplant It is designed for children and is a joint project of the Niño Jesús University Children's Hospital, Fundación Atresmedia and Mr. Garamond. It is content that helps families and children who undergo a bone marrow transplant namely how to take care of yourself before, during and after the operation.
This application is a complementary material to the story I'm going to have a transplant performed by the Onco-Hematology team and the Hematopoietic Transplant Unit of the Hospital. The story was originally illustrated by Soledad Maestre Martín-Ventas. Now the application also includes games to have fun with and learn habits for faster recovery after transplantation. In them you can draw, handle a supermask that repels all viruses and demonstrate the skill and knowledge by finding all the inhabitants of the incredible cell microuniverse.
The application is available on Google Play for free and is a guide designed primarily for children between 3 and 10 years to know what this treatment is, which is often a long and very complex process.
After three years of using the guide as a printed story, designed to minimize anxiety and allow patients to become familiar with the treatment, other unforeseen goals have also been achieved. For this reason and given the value shown by this type of information tools for patients, and their immediate environment, it has been decided to produce in application mode for mobile devices.
Now that story is adapted to try to bring the information closer to one of the most common languages that children understand best today, through mobile phones and tablets. The App I'm going to have a transplant born as a socio-health initiative to create educational and informative content for children from a normalizing and playful perspective.
