Xploro
Pediatric patient-education platform using augmented reality, gameplay, and conversational guidance to reduce anxiety before hospital procedures.
What They Do
Xploro sells a disease-agnostic digital education and familiarization platform to healthcare organizations that need to prepare children for surgery, radiology, sleep studies, blood draws, oncology treatment, and other intimidating clinical experiences. The product combines storybooks, 3D hospital environments, games, questionnaires, and an AI-guided avatar buddy to explain procedures in age-appropriate language and reduce fear of the unknown. Public materials emphasize both patient experience and operational efficiency: less anxiety, better compliance, fewer delays, and stronger engagement with care teams.
Competitive Position
Xploro overlaps with little-journey in pediatric procedural prep, but its product identity leans more toward immersive digital education: augmented reality hospital environments, avatar guides, and gamified health literacy rather than workflow-heavy care orchestration. Compared with smileyscope, it is earlier in the care journey and more focused on procedural familiarization than acute pain distraction during the procedure itself. That makes it especially interesting for radiology, sleep, oncology, and pre-op programs where unfamiliar equipment and environment are a major source of anxiety. The tradeoff is that hospitals may still perceive it as a patient-experience tool unless outcome and efficiency evidence stays front and center.
