Yuan Yin, an MBA student at Babson College in Wellesley, recently launched a company called SuperHealos.

The goal of the company, which was created with the help of Yin’s husband and friends, is to “create an ecosystem to empower children to face life’s challenges,” according to an official video displayed on SuperHealos’ Kickstarter campaign page.

The unexpected passing of a family member resulted in Yuan Yin’s creation of the company.

“His death and my hospital experience really made me take a hard look at what’s important in life,” Yin said to Patch. “I decided to leave my career in corporate America and do something to make a difference.”

SuperHealos offers tangible gifts as well as experiences which are meant to expedite a child’s emotional recovery during his or her hospital stay. The company’s website states:

Through a focus on boosting morale, SuperHealos provides children with age appropriate tools to help them bridge the gap between sickness and recovery. Our creative stories, poems, and videos aim to teach children in ways that they can understand. SuperHealos empowers children not only to face challenges in their own lives but also to be empathetic and kind to others in need.

SuperHealos also sells products such as capes for children, which promote resiliency and encourage imaginative thinking. “Children in the SuperHealos cape can pretend that they are a brave, strong SuperHealos character,” the company states.

“I’m really proud of what we’ve done and the reaction from parents, caregivers and other entrepreneurs has been excellent,” Yin said. “It’s hard not to get a good reaction out of people on this one.”
