    In children’s hospital Wilhelmina Kinderziekenhuis (WKZ) 5.000 young patients
    are hospitalized each year. They undergo surgery under anaesthesia and have to stay
    in the hospital for one day or more. Being hospitalized is scary and stressful for a lot
    of these young patients. We helped the young patients of WKZ with an
    augmented reality buddy to feel more at ease and decrease anxiety and stress
    before, during and after surgery.

  • solution
    To make young patients feel more
    at ease and decrease anxiety
    and stress, we’ve created two
    augmented reality buddies
    in collaboration with the
    Wilhelmina children’s hospital.
    Monkey and tiger accompany
    these young patients in every
    step of the patient journey:
    from home, to ward, recovery
    room and back home again.

    Puzzles pieces that unlock new
    content when scanned can be
    found at several physical
    locations inside the hospital,
    turning the scary patient
    journey into a fun and
    light-hearted treasure hunt.
