Sumario:Care technologies addressed during palliative care should be aimed at promoting the quality of life of children and adolescents. To describe the applications of assistive technologies available in the care of children and adolescents in the neuropalliative context. A mixed study was carried out, with online data collection with nursing professionals. The technologies analyzed were: Music therapy, massage, use of animals, therapeutic toys, auriculotherapy, physical exercises, media devices and family participation. A descriptive analysis was carried out to detect which techniques were used in the terminal context of children and teenagers, consequently the effect generated on the patient. After this mapping, the result was the use of the family (24; 80.0%), followed by the therapeutic toy (17; 56.7%), as the main technologies used. Finally, it became clear that distraction instruments attached to childhood and the feeling of home are the most used and with positive results in pediatric patients.
