Can an interactive application be used to collect meaningful feedback from paediatric patients and their parents in a hospital setting?

The objective of this study was to determine the acceptability of using an interactive application (Fabio the Frog) to understand the experiences and perspectives of children and parents/carers regarding their health care encounter for the purpose of quality improvement and consumer feedback.
