Title
Preparing Children at Home for MR Scanning; a COSMOnautic Virtual Reality Fairy Tale
Concept
COSMO@HOME is developing an app for children to prepare at home for upcoming MRI scans, so they won’t need sedation during the actual scan. The app will contain different personalised modules, including games that teach children to lay still or breath deeply, a virtual reality version of a scan and information for parents. The aim is to reduce sedation of children taking MRIs by 20%.
