Our Product

Fluffy Friends consists of a secret pocket that contains a symbolic representation of a patient’s diagnoses. When closed, the Fluffy Friend looks like any other ordinary teddy bear. When opened, patients can see what makes their Fluffy Friend so special and remember that they have a friend from their doctor who understands their experience in every way.

Physicians

Fluffy Friends is more than a teddy bear.

As a physician, you know how important it is for children and their families to feel safe and supported in your care during their treatment.

Fluffy Friends can help you provide that extra level of care and support to your patients. It nurtures a strong and trusting relationship between physicians and patients, which can have significant impact on the overall quality of healthcare.

The program is designed to improve the interactions between patient and physician. When there is a strong level of trust between physicians and patients, communication between them becomes easier and more effective. Patients are more likely to share important information with their physician such as symptoms, concerns, and treatment preferences, and physicians are more likely to listen and respond with empathy and understanding.

Promoting the development of these relationship results in better treatment outcomes. Patients who trust their physicians are more likely to follow through with treatment plans and take their medications as prescribed. It can also lead to greater patient satisfaction. Patients who feel heard and understood by their physicians are more likely to report higher levels of satisfaction with their healthcare experience, which can lead to greater patient retention and referrals.

By establishing a strong and trusting patient-doctor relationship in an environment where you can be confident that your treatment does make a difference, means you can deliver higher-quality healthcare, improve treatment outcomes and lessen the strain of your role as a physician

Goals of the Fluffy Friends Program:

Foster healthy psychological development in children who have experienced/are predisposed to traumatic events

Facilitate physician-patient trust through health communications

Improve patient education and advocacy

Remain sensitive to stigmas and other psychosocial challenges associated
