Hospitalization affects children's school attendance, resulting in poor academic and sociodevelopmental outcomes. The increasing ubiquity of mobile and tablet technology in educational and healthcare environments, and the growth of the mobile robotic telepresence (MRT) industry, offer opportunities for the use of MRT to connect hospitalized children to their school environments. This article describes an approach at one rural healthcare center in collaboration with local school districts with the aim of describing strategies and limitations of MRT use. Future research is needed on MRT implementation, from user experiences to operational strategies, and outcome metrics need to be developed to measure academic and socioemotional outcomes. By partnering with educational systems and using this technology, hospital information technology personnel can help hospitalized children engage with their school environments to maintain connections with peers and access academic instruction.
