digital solutions
each of these began with an innovative clinician — let’s brainstorm!med games
acclimating patients with play while increasing facility throughput
MRI stillness game
Pre-MRI VR headset game trains and rewards stillness so that scans and radiation treatments can be as short and accurate as possible. For pediatric and adult patients. (VR only)
MRI easy
Pre-MRI acclimation in an Xbox environment to decrease anxiety and the need for sedation. Pediatric and adult versions available. (Watch pediatric video demo) IRB study ongoing. (VR & PC)
radiation easy
Pre-Radiation Treatment acclimation. The ‘Proof of concept’ study reduced the mean age of sedation from 10 to 3. Pediatric and adult versions available. (Watch pediatric video demo) (VR & PC)
EEG hero
Pre-EEG acclimation and scavenger hunt game. The initial pilot enabled clinicians to avoid papoosing on all patients. (PC only)
get up & go!
An Alternate Reality (AR) adventure game designed to motivate patients to get moving!
immersive healing experiences
- Patients are asked, “Where would you choose to heal?”
- Their answers direct the creation of immersive experiences
- The experiential library is used to gain control and comfort while in treatment
- Clinical distraction therapy has been shown to reduce pain, anxiety, and the need for side-effects medications
learn guides
In partnership with your clinical team we can develop a custom program to take your patients from diagnosis, through treatment and on to healing and wellbeing.
- Targeted information is available 24/7 on any internet-enabled device with critical questions to ask, medical terms explained, and health goals to consider
- Links to evidence-based support networks with insights from survivors and caregivers
- Over 24 previous Learn Guides currently available in Spanish and English, many are disease-specific, or cover topics like Oncofertility, Mindfulness and Palliative Care.
what people are saying
In our pilot study we were able to reduce the mean age of sedation from 10 to 3. And because Radiation Easy is a real-time Xbox style game I get to customize the experience for each patient.
Deb Wagers, CCLS, MHA / Child Life Specialist, Manager
Patients are referred to me when they are too anxious or claustrophobic to go through an MRI. After using MRI Easy for one or two sessions, 100% of the patients have been able to get through an MRI without sedation. “It’s been a life saver, literally.”
Dr. Justin Weeks, PhD / UNMC Dept. of Psychiatry
I was groggy after my operation. But they told me if I played Get Up And GO! I could bring a T-Rex back to life. I even got a selfie of me and the dino for school.
Pediatric Patient
With cranial radiation patients complete stillness is critical. The MRI Stillness Game trains them to do just that, helping facilitate treatment and increasing our proton vault’s throughput.
