Pediatric pain and wellbeing management in cancer is poorly addressed by current traditional and digital health solutions.

- Small children struggle to interpret the current pain assessment tools and scales.
- HCPs find it difficult to assess and evaluate the child's pain progression, especially in small children.
- A child's ability to both communicate and manage pain is very different from that of an adult
- Adult based traditional and digital therapies are applied without appropriate modifications for kids resulting in poor pain management
nen has been founded to help kids with cancer, their families and HCPs with pain management.
nen is developing a DTx to address pain management through play, leveraging gamification approaches and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to modulate pain and improve their overall wellbeing and outcomes.
A gamified web-based platform will assess, treat, and offer continuous feedback to children based on their journey through the game. The CBT modules are age-appropiate and designed for children to be engaging and enjoyable for them.
