A transmedia heart-health adventure designed primarily for children ages 4–7 through videos, games, songs and superpowers, alongside complementary content for pre-teens 11–14 and families. Join Dr. Fuster, Cory the Care-Bot and the whole gang on a mission to awaken healthy habits from an early age.
Dr. Fuster & Friends is an engaging transmedia universe aimed directly to children ages 4-7 that combines animated storytelling, live action content, games, e-books, interactive activities, and educational resources.
We believe reducing heart disease is achievable through early health education, which leads to the development of healthy habits and improved quality of life.
Our program also reaches preadolescents 11–14—those beginning to face major challenges such as addictive behaviors and body image concerns—along with their families across diverse socioeconomic segments in Latin America and the USA.
For younger children ages 4–7, Dr. Fuster & Friends is a transmedia experience — animated videos, games, songs, and stories — that teaches heart-healthy habits through play and adventure. For middle schoolers ages 11–14, the Health Academy is a four-month, after-school curriculum that guides students through physical, emotional, and social health with science-based, culturally responsive lessons.
Watch Dr. Fuster and the whole gang in action — five-minute adventures where heart-healthy habits become superpowers. Every episode follows our heroes as they rediscover their potential, one Secret Power at a time. Available in English and Spanish.
