X-Plain Pediatric Patient Education for Tablets

Traditional methods of pediatric patient education just aren’t cutting it. Children and their families don’t always read handouts, and if they do, they often misunderstand the information. During office visits, even adult patients misunderstand or forget 40-80% of what the provider says. Children fare worse.

X-Plain Pediatrics conveys vital health messages through iPads and Android tablets, health websites, bedside TVs and patient portals. Our patient education solutions rely on simplified text coupled with line-drawings and animations depicting children. To ensure readability, we write our content at a 4th to 5th grade reading level. We provide full narration so kids of all ages can understand the information.

X-Plain tutorials ask questions to check for understanding and give interactive feedback. Some of our solutions electronically track usage to ensure that families are finishing the learning session.

Why Do Kids and Parents Prefer X-Plain?

Nine out of ten patients surveyed said they wish all their healthcare providers offered X-Plain. Here’s why:

Parents and children can see and hear the concepts explained through text, narration, illustrations and animations. Research shows this multiple-input approach improves the user's attention, comprehension and retention.
Children and their parents can control the pace of learning. Those with limited health literacy can learn at their own pace, while those with more background knowledge can turn off the narration and proceed quickly. The presentation automatically stops if the child or parent becomes distracted and doesn’t press continue.
Parents often feel intimidated when engaging in teach-back with a healthcare provider. In an X-Plain program, those who answer a question incorrectly can try again without embarrassment. When they answer questions correctly, their confidence grows. Parents who feel less anxiety can focus more easily during teach-back.

Why Do Healthcare Providers Prefer X-Plain?

X-Plain not only increases patient satisfaction, but it also reduces the burden on healthcare providers. We help our clients:

Streamline teach-back by answering the most common questions that children and their families ask.
Support informed consent by documenting completion and comprehension of the programs. Our tutorials have been used in a court of law to help dismiss claims that the patient was not adequately informed.
Engage a broader population by giving families access to content in their native language – English, Spanish or Arabic.
Achieve their goals by developing patient education content and solutions that meet each client’s needs.
