Level Up Your Level of Care
Up to 70% of your patients and families aren’t getting access to a child life specialist. And often, it’s higher.
What They’re Saying
I showed my patient’s mother the hospital pictures, the diagnosis book lists, the parent podcasts, and some other features. She said “I have been researching Google endlessly for resources and this app has everything I could ever dream of and more!”

The Child Life On Call App
Every family deserves access to child life services.
You’ve seen the stats and the data. You know that when patients and their parents have access to proper support and education they are more engaged, more prepared, and more likely to return to your facility.
But with limited budget, limited time, and already over-extended staff, it’s impossible for child life specialists to engage all the children and families who walk through your facility’s doors.
Until now.
The next generation of healthcare is here-and it fits in the palm of your hand.
The Child Life On Call App:
Streamlines routine tasks so staff can spend more time face-to-face with patients
Turns patients, families, and staff into a dynamic team by connecting them to shared resources and a shared vocabulary
Closes the gap in access to child life services by connecting patients to education and support resources on their phones, regardless of when they are admitted
So you can offer the highest quality of care without breaking the bank, or your health heroes’ spirits.
Support that goes beyond the bedside.
With features for children, parents, and health heroes, Child Life On Call empowers users from pre-admission to post-discharge.

“The CLOC app provided the reassurance parents needed to advocate for their son with unique needs. Working with a patient on the Autism Spectrum often times requires unique care tailored to the individual as not any two people are the same. The coping plan allowed this patient’s needs to be met in a way that keeps both him and staff safe while ensuring all his sensory needs are communicated and accessible to anyone who is providing care.”
