Xploro takes part in world’s largest pediatric-focused digital health accelerator.

Xploro, the app proven to reduce anxiety in children going into hospital for the treatment of a serious illness, is one of thirteen companies who have joined the inaugural cohort of the KidsX digital health accelerator and has the privilege of being the sole member from outside the USA.

KidsX, the largest pediatric-focused digital health, accelerator brings together the world’s top children’s hospitals with early stage digital health companies like Xploro. They facilitate relationships so they can build, test and deploy software solutions which are effective, safe, efficient and convenient for children and their families.

After sifting initial applications from hopefuls around the world, hundreds of video interviews were followed by a pitch competition to better understand candidates’ offers. Each hospital in the group voted for the solution they were most keen to trial and the final thirteen were chosen.

As one of the successful companies Xploro will now work with the hospitals to decide which ones will trial the innovative app for a three month period, starting in April.

Opportunity

Xploro CEO and Co-founder, Dom Raban, said “I can’t tell you how thrilled I am that Xploro has been recognised in this way. KidsX has opened up a raft of opportunities for our business which in turn means more children than ever can benefit from our app. I’m keen to begin work as part of the accelerator and excited for what the future holds with KidsX – this is a pivotal moment for Xploro.”

The KidsX accelerator is a 13 week programme where successful companies work closely with decision makers and digital health leaders to determine how their product best delivers value in the paediatric market. It enables them to learn from experts in their fields and obtain invaluable feedback from children and their parents.
