Reduce Anxiety and Improve Patient Outcomes
Peri-procedural anxiety is the leading complaint before surgery and results in poor patient experiences, reduced satisfaction with care and worse mental and physical health outcomes.
Little Journey is proven to reduce anxiety and improve patient outcomes.

Why implement Little Journey in your healthcare organisation?

Better Patient Experiences
Through tailored preparation for the whole family, Little Journey familiarises, desensitises and helps align their expectations with the process of undergoing a procedure.
By improving communication and providing continuous support, Little Journey improves satisfaction and patient experience of care.

Improved Patient Outcomes
Through enhanced psychological preparation and support, Little Journey improves short and long term physical and mental outcomes.
From faster recovery to reduced numbers of days of school missed, Little Journey helps kids get back to being kids.

Lower Cost of Healthcare
Through modification of children’s and their family's behaviours, Little Journey reduces on-the-day cancellations, the need for anxiolytic premedication, rescue analgesia and unplanned admissions to hospital – all lowering the cost of the care delivered.

Better Care Co-ordination
Little Journey improves patient flow and staff utilisation through enhanced patient compliance and understanding.

Improved Population Health
Positive healthcare experiences for the whole family promote the development of improved health behaviours, ultimately helping to lower the health economic burden of illness due to negative health behaviours.

Testimonials
"Amazing app, helped to show my daughter what she would experience, took a little of the anxiety away. Very easy to use and very informative"
"We used the Little Journey app to help a 9 year old girl recently who was very anxious and has autism. Her previous procedures have been a real challenge due to this. After the patient downloaded and used the app, it was a much less stressful situation, simply due to the immersive distraction she experienced from playing with the app.“
