About MediKidz
As part of Catalyst’s commitment to the epilepsy community, we partnered with Jumo Health, enlisting their signature comic book line, MediKidz®, which uses animated superheroes based on actual patients living with epilepsy. These books explore topics relevant to those affected by epilepsy and provide accurate and engaging information for young people and their families. The content was created with feedback from leading clinical specialists and graphic novelists, peer-reviewed by key opinion leaders (KOLs), and endorsed by professional and patient advocacy groups.
