Problem
Children often have limited opportunities to participate in decisions regarding their own care within healthcare and social services, leading to increased anxiety and a lack of alignment between care processes and the child's perspective. This lack of involvement can result in poorer outcomes and reduced quality of care.
Solution
Galaco provides a digital communication tool designed to enhance children's participation in their own care. The platform consists of a child-facing app featuring a virtual environment where children use avatars to express their thoughts and feelings about their health, daily functioning, and treatment through animated questions and answer options. A separate platform allows care providers and authorities to monitor the child's input and integrate it into the care process, facilitating a more person-centered approach. By giving children a voice and incorporating their perspectives, Galaco aims to improve the quality, safety, and effectiveness of care.
Target Audience
Galaco's primary users are authorities and care providers within child healthcare, social services, and habilitation, seeking to improve child participation and the quality of care.
