Companion Robots
For over a decade, robots have played a valuable role in pediatric care. Today's advanced robots are more capable, autonomous, affordable, and engaging than ever before. Growing evidence supports the ability of robots to alleviate children's pain, fear, and anxiety, complementing the essential work of Child Life Specialists.

These companion robots can act as personal assistants, helping children stay connected with family and friends during isolation and recovery, and allowing them to participate in social events. For hospitals, these robots are an excellent tool to engage with donors and support fundraising efforts.
"Studies show that the involvement of child life specialists can reduce anxiety levels in 60% of hospitalized children."
