Inspiration

Having a child, fear of having ever serious need to take him to a hospital is a worry that has grown alongside him. The lack of knowledge how such situation would be handled, was significant part of the inspiration to work on this project.

What it does

It is a concept for an service that uses gamification, entertainment,and real time tracking to relive hospital related anxieties and links together different stakeholders for smoother information transfer and communication, resulting in anxiety relief, and more informed, calm and content hospital experience.

From patient’s family view:

Each parent wants to have the full understanding of the child’s condition. We can understand that. Our application can provide a real time following of patient status.

From patient’s view:

Try to remember how you felt when you were a kid in a hospital. Most likely, you were scared to uncertainty. Our gamification helps child to become familiar with the procedure ahead and in process. Personalized stories, cartoons and games can be provided, which may be based on age/gender/interest and type of treatment

How we built it

Using Unity, Android SDK, Blender, Photoshop

Challenges we ran into

During the project work we have run into complicated understanding of emotional feelings of children during hospital visit. Also while developing we faced lack of medical terms and make it easier to understand.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Even so we had lack of understanding some technical level we think we overcome it.

What we learned

We have learnt that in modern world we can tackle a lot of problems like children fear at hospitals, but often we don't change the things to better way.
