Innovating Pediatric Trauma Care with Digital Tools

Abstract

Pediatric trauma remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality, with the transition from hospital to home posing significant challenges for families. SafeJourney, a digital companion, addresses these gaps by empowering families and coordinating care during the critical post-discharge period. Developed with input from diverse stakeholders, SafeJourney integrates digital tools such as a virtual companion, care dashboards, symptom tracking, educational resources, and telehealth integration. This innovative tool demonstrates the potential to transform post-discharge care by reducing emergency department visits and readmissions while enhancing family confidence and healthcare outcomes.
