Docteur Sirop, the new ally to help children take their medicine: “Gamification is the key to learning”

“My son can only stand on tiptoe”: Naël, a child ballerina, suffers from a serious and extremely rare muscular and mental illness

“70% of children refuse or do not accept medication. Gamification is the key to learning. We use the game for missions so that the child understands how his body works and the importance of taking care of himself”notes the co-creator of “Doctor Syrop”.

Like a secret agent, the child will embark on a mission against microbes. thanks to a ritual, he will take his treatment to the end. Doctor Syrup’s box includes a mission book, stickers, reward cards and a reward. An app allows the child to interact with the caribou via AI. “Everything is turnkey and was designed with a doctor and a child psychologist because we do not come from the medical field”specifies Nicolas Roger. “We support the words of the doctor and the pharmacist.”

Still on the same concept, another box exists for bedtime so that the child becomes independent and no longer gets up in the middle of the night. “Pharmacists have told us that some parents are so desperate that they want to practically sedate their child.” The creators are already working on a box for hospitalized children.

“We want Docteur Sirop to become the pediatric reference like Tchoupi”finishes Alexandra Laroche. Both boxes are available in pharmacies and on the website docteursirop.com (shipping is free).
