Interactive Fun

As play is an important distraction vehicle, the absence of equipment can lead to treatment delays, increases in waiting times and slower recovery. Keeping patients happy is a simple task with the following solutions. 

How it Works

Our systems create an environment where stress and anxiety are reduced this helps the child to cope with illness and with being in hospital.

It also helps the child to regain confidence and self esteem alongside providing an outlet for feelings of anger and frustration.

    The following is just one of the children who made all the staff that day have a really good feeling.

    I had a wonderful session with a child who needed Bloods taken who had severe learning difficulties, he had his cream on without any problem, but during the waiting time he became quite anxious, so as soon as the treatment room was free and about quarter of an hour before his time I put the " 3 D V-Pod " on with the colourful fish so he could see movement, but not sure how he would react.

    " What an amazing result, he stood in front of the screen, with his arms out trying to catch the fish, saying over & over " fish - fish." He even looked at the back of the 3 D V-Pod to see if they were there (Mum said he has a fish tank in his room at home) He was so relaxed he had his bloods taken and Parents were delighted that there wasn't any problems like last time.
    All the staff said it was so fantastic to see it had made such a difference to the session.
    All out audit sessions with this amazing screen have been very positive for children, parents, nurses, support workers, doctors and of course I.

    Ruth Wiley: Rheumatology Specialist Nurse, Royal Victoria Hospital Newcastle

    We used less gas and air than expected during a painful treatment - I was very impressed.

    Angela Nicoll Senior Play Specialist Stockport Children’s Hospital

    We have used it for everything from cannulation, wound drain removal, dressing changes, general distraction for anxious kids seems to work really well all round. It has exceptional results when used in conjunction with Entonox for bigger more painful procedures.

    Lorraine Little – Great Ormond Street (clinical researcher for the Pain Distraction system at GOSH) London

    It's lovely seeing the children's reactions during the trial!

    Caitlin Harrison, Child Life Specialist, Chris Evert Children’s Hospital – Fort Lauderdale

    The 3D V-pod Distraction tool is a sensory experiance which allows our pediatric patients to mentally escape during a stressful procedure. It provides many avenues of therapeutic components to encourage coping techniques for the patient, and it reduces the intensity of the overall medical experience.

    Graeme Gordon Brighton NHS

    “They are nothing but amazing! Just used it a minute ago on a needle-phobic child – he had no anxiety doing his cannula where normally he gets really worked up, but this time very relaxed! It’s great to have them as we opened our new emergency department. They are getting well used already!”

    Maria Ross-Russell, Cambridgeshire Community Services NHS

    “Both as Head of Dental Services and a dentist that is lucky enough to work in the surgery with the 3-D distraction system.  All the dentists working in the surgery have found it helpful when treating children and additionally, several adults with learning disabilities also enjoy the system.  We use a variety of the programs depending on the patient and some repeat visitors like to see something different each time!”

    Lorna Galbraith – Play Specialist Royal Hospital for Sick Children – Edinburgh

    “I have used the new system with a variety of children ages two years up to eleven years. The children have benefited from this new type of distraction with one girl asking to use it on another occasion. It as brought a new and exciting form of distraction for the children. ”

    Rita Cammidge, Hospital Play Specialist. With over 18 years experience in Hospital Play at Mid Yorkshire Trust Hospital.

    “I have carried out many types of distraction in our treatment room in Children's Assessment
    Unit, the Ward and in anaesthetic rooms over the last 18 years, with many different age groups of children. I have witnessed different results during these sessions with various different distraction techniques all of which I can say have been remarkable experience for each of them. I have now done sessions in the Assessment Unit to see how children would cope with watching a 3 D V-Pod System with a difference. It has been remarkable.”
