The idea of the Imaginary Calls app is to offer doctors, nurses and parents an alternative way of communicating with hospitalized children on a personal level, using a funny and uplifting character (such as an Imaginary Friend) who children can relate to and rely on.
We believe that Imaginary Calls has the potential to facilitate conversations that educate, distract and entertain -- while at the same time, helping to reduce a pediatric patient’s feelings of anxiety and isolation during treatment.
