The app "Gusse - Ostomy and pins" is an introduction to a patient process for the youngest children, their family and

social circle. The purpose is to prepare and secure children who have little experience with equipment and concepts

meetings at the hospital.


The information is with a narrator - with a child's voice - and animation in the genre "Learning through play with tablet/mobile phone".


Children in this age group learn and experience through play and concrete information. Hospitalized children can quickly become overwhelmed by a lot of information. Therefore, "Gusse - Gips og pinner" is made up of short sequences suitable for younger children.


The stories reflect reality and current clinical guidelines. Healthcare professionals can use this material as an educational tool to create a common understanding with the child.


"Gusse - Gypsum and sticks" is a Norwegian version of the Danish "HC And - Gypsum and K-thread", which was developed in collaboration between H.C. Andersen Børne- og Ungehospital, Odense University Hospital, hospitalized children and their families and 10:30 Visual Communication.


The app "Gusse - Gypsum and sticks" with Norwegian speech was developed in collaboration with Else B. Stålen, children's orthopedic department and physiotherapy section at the Children's and Adolescent Clinic, St. Olavs Hospital, University Hospital in Trondheim.
