EmmiKids Programs at Nemours
Emmi is a web-based program that takes complex medical information and makes it easy-to-understand. Featuring simple animation and a soothing female voice, Emmi helps you and your child prepare for an upcoming procedure or manage a chronic condition.
Often you’ll have questions that you may think aren’t important, or that you may have forgotten to ask as you walked out of the doctor’s office. Emmi answers all of these questions and more. Plus you can view the programs from the comfort of your own home, or anywhere else that has Internet access. You can even share Emmi with friends or family members.
How does it work?
Your doctor will give you an 11-digit code that will allow you to access your Emmi program from any computer. Each Emmi program takes about 20 minutes to watch. You can view your program as many times as you like. As you watch the program, you can also write notes and questions that you can print out and bring with you to your next appointment.
