Problem
Pediatric patients often experience anxiety and distress during medical procedures, waiting periods, and recovery, leading to decreased cooperation and potentially traumatic experiences. Traditional methods of distraction and engagement may not be effective or scalable in a clinical setting.
Solution
SpellBound AR provides augmented reality (AR) applications designed to improve the pediatric patient experience across the continuum of care. Using readily available mobile devices, SpellBound's modular AR tools create immersive, interactive 3D experiences that distract patients during procedures, motivate movement during therapy, and improve overall preparedness. By integrating AR into waiting rooms, point-of-care settings, and at-home engagement, SpellBound aims to reduce patient anxiety, pain, and sedation, while also improving staff efficiency and patient outcomes. The platform helps hospital care teams create engaging moments, turning potentially negative healthcare experiences into positive ones.
Target Audience
SpellBound AR primarily targets pediatric specialists, child life specialists, and hospital care teams seeking to improve the patient experience, reduce anxiety, and increase procedural compliance in pediatric patients.
