Who is it for? Children with cystic fibrosis, families and therapeutic patient education teams.
A treatment becomes part of a story
The experience was created in VirtualSociety with the cystic fibrosis team and patient education unit at Nancy University Hospital. Healthcare professionals and patients also recorded the characters’ voices.
Leo’s world provides a shared setting to explain the equipment, revisit the sequence of actions and raise questions. The professional guides the child and connects these discoveries to everyday life.

Understanding the treatment steps with Léo
« We focus more on decision-making and on the different points that must not be missed when doing an inhalation treatment. »
Involving patients and families from the outset
« Collaborative development from the initial concept stage, closely involving patients, parents and healthcare professionals, is a real strength and demonstrates a strong commitment to meeting the actual needs of patients and their families. »
First impressions during Léo’s development
« I think it is well made and bright, and I hope patients will really enjoy it. »
