Description
Ready for Tonsillectomy is an educational app for kids and families. It shows what to expect before, during, and after your tonsil surgery. This app was kid-tested and doctor-approved in a research study at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta.
The app uses kid-friendly language, animations, and analogies to help you and your family learn about surgery. You’ll learn about reasons for tonsillectomy, what to do before surgery, anesthesia, and recovery at home. The app suggests good ways to feel less nervous. It also has information for parents, plus reminder notifications about important steps to take and normal symptoms to expect.
Ready for Tonsillectomy is based on clinical practice guidelines from major medical associations, expertise from ear/nose/throat surgeons, and feedback from patients and parents.
“Great for small children and nervous parents! Everything we needed to know was presented in a way for all patients to understand.” –Parent feedback, Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta
Disclaimer: please remember to seek a doctor's advice in addition to using this app before making any medical decisions.
