Simply Sayin' Medical Jargon - Reviews, Revenue and Downloads - Apple App Store

Description

The award-winning Simply Sayin’™ app uses pictures, sounds and a family-friendly glossary of terms to facilitate clear conversations between the healthcare provider, child, and family. Used by Child Life Specialists in hospitals around the world, parents can also use this information to promote positive health care experiences for their children before heading to see the doctor.

The medical jargon health care professionals use can be overwhelming to children, because they process information differently than adults. Simply Sayin’™ is a mobile resource to help medical professionals provide developmentally appropriate explanations of medical terminology and common procedures. This app reinforces teach back techniques that have become the standard of care.

Features of Simply Sayin’™ include:
-     Alphabetized glossary of terms
-     Illustrations and photographs
-     Anatomical images that can be drawn on free hand to
illustrate surgical procedures and medical conditions
-     Sound clips
- Ability to switch between English and Spanish for all menus and content

Simply Sayin’™ was developed by Certified Child Life Specialists at Phoenix Children's Hospital. Child Life Specialists help patients better understand and cope with their medical experiences.

Cute and simple

FYI cardiac catheter in the prep list is misspelled. Drawing will be useful.

The resource I have been looking for

I’m a pediatric ICU nurse and on my unit we do not have child life specialists for the night shift (very sad, I know). With that being said, I am always looking for new ways that I can explain things to the kids in a way that they will understand. I have looked for videos online for tips from child life specialists on things to say to help my patients feel more comfortable and to understand what’s going on but hadn’t found anything…until this. Wonderful wonderful wonderful app. I can’t wait to go into my next shift and utilize this. The fact that it’s in Spanish too…I am so happy I found this.

Love the app, PLEASE INCLUDE LANDSCAPE

This app is wonderful. I use this with Magic Keyboard, so a landscape option would make this 5-stars perfect!
