The medical jargon health care professionals use can be overwhelming to children, because they process information differently than adults. The Simply Sayin’™ app from Phoenix Children's Hospital uses pictures, sounds and child friendly glossary of terms to facilitate clear conversations between the healthcare provider, child, and family. Parents can also use this information to promote positive health care experiences for their children.
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. All content in the app is available in both English and Spanish.
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

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