Comfort Quest
For hospitals, research teams and foundations

Your patient support, now a conversation.

Comfort Quest turns the fact sheets, guides and research your team already has into something children and parents can talk to at home. Nothing new to write.

Working with Queensland Children's Hospital, Griffith University, the Meg Foundation and Boston Children's Hospital.

How we work together

What a partnership looks like in practice.

Most partners start with a folder of material they already trust. We work through it with your clinical lead, build the conversation on top of it, and hand your team a view of what families are doing with it.

You bring

What your team already trusts

  • Your clinical resources and content
  • Your assessments and screening tools
  • Your care pathways and protocols
  • Your tone and language for families
  • Your character, if you have one

We build

The experience families actually use

  • One warm, simple experience for patients and carers
  • Conversation grounded only in your content
  • Plans children make, keep and use
  • Deployed in your environment, under your governance

Your team gets

What your clinicians see

  • Engagement and completion insight
  • Screening responses shown to your team, using thresholds your clinicians set
  • Clinician-facing views we can shape with you
  • Evaluation data ready for publication

This is already how we work

See it working

This is what it feels like for a family.

Meet Spud, the character behind our own products. Ask him what a cannula is. Ask him how to tell a six-year-old about tomorrow. He answers the way a great children's nurse would: honestly, gently, and at the child's level.

Spud is our character. You don't have to use him. Partners like the Meg Foundation use their own, and we can build with your character or without one at all.

Spud

Here to help

Spud

Ask anything about your child's procedure. Spud answers gently, and never replaces your care team.

Try asking

How it works

Every answer comes from content your team approved.

Nothing is invented and nothing is generic. When a parent asks a question, the answer comes from your documents, and we can show which one.

Spud, SuperMeg, or your character. Same grounded engine underneath.

Pitched to the reader

For the parent

A cannula is a thin, soft tube placed in a vein, so your child can have medicine without lots of separate needles.

For the child

“It's a tiny bendy straw that goes in your arm so the medicine can get in.”

Both answers grounded in your sources, never beyond them.

The moments

Every moment in the journey.

Children experience healthcare as a journey, not a series of products. Our technology shows up at each moment in it, inside the tools we build with our partners, carrying their content and their identity.

01

Before the moment

Help a child build their own coping plan.

Our preparation tools walk a child through choosing what helps, in their own words, so they arrive with a plan they own, not one handed to them.

02

Through the journey

Answer the hard questions, grounded in evidence.

Our conversation tools give families honest, source-grounded answers through long and uncertain journeys, and never answer beyond what the evidence supports.

Beyond the moment

Turn one hard moment into lasting skills.

Our coaching tools help children carry what worked into the next hard moment, so a plan they built once can be used again.

What you get

The building blocks of digital comfort care.

Comfort Quest gives your team a small set of powerful capabilities, ready to shape into the tool your families need. Here's what they are, and what you can do with them.

Your evidence, your control

Connect your own content.

Bring your guidelines, research and frameworks through a simple content system. Spud only ever answers from what you've approved, so every word is yours, and traceable.

The core activity

Help families build a plan, and use it.

A child or family builds a personalised plan in their own words, choosing what helps them. Then they carry it into the moment that matters, and come back to it whenever they need.

The interface

Meet families where they are, by text or voice.

The same tool works as a typed chat or a spoken conversation, so it fits the child, the moment and the setting, whether that's a quiet room at home or a busy clinic.

How it ships

Deploys in your environment, under your brand.

Our technology runs inside the tool you own, in your name, on infrastructure you trust. You stay in control of the content, the experience and the relationship with your families.

Insight for your team

Insight your team can act on.

Families use the experience; your clinicians see what matters. We can show your clinicians which families are engaging, who has completed screening, and whose answers sit above the thresholds your clinicians set, in a view built for your workflow, so your team can see who may need follow-up sooner. Your clinicians decide what happens next.

Shaped with your team, under your governance. We design what gets surfaced, to whom, and when, together.

Clarity

What we don't do.

The strongest thing we can do for the families who use our tools is be honest about where our work ends. So we are clear about our edges.

COMFORT QUEST SUPPORTSChildFamilyClinicalteam

We support this relationship. We never sit between it.

01

We don't take on clinical advice, diagnosis, or triage work.

02

We don't build tools that replace the relationship between a child, a family, and their clinical team.

03

We don't rush products to market before they're ready.

04

And we don't overclaim what AI can do today, because the gap between marketing and reality is where trust dies.
