Surgery Prep in the hospital

Child life specialists pilot tested Surgery Prep with 15 pediatric patients at the UCLA Santa Monica Medical Center before surgery. Results are promising and published in the Journal of Child Life (https://doi.org/10.55591/001c.126782). See testimonials below. Dr. Comulada, a Before Inc co-founder, also presented results at the 2024 Pediatric Gaming & Technology Symposium. The symposium was virtual and hosted by the good folks at Child's Play Charity and Children's Hospital Colorado. They featured a virtual meeting space where you could connect with other attendees. (Dr. Comulada's avatar is shown above.) What a cool idea for a virtual conference!
