Pengunaut Trainer
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a painless, non-invasive method to look inside the body. However, the narrowness of the bore, the noise and the necessity to remain calm and motionless during the entire scan is a psychological challenge for many patients. Children, in particular, react often with anxiety, stress, and agitation. Thus, it is common practice to sedate younger patients to ensure image quality and diagnosis.
Our mission is to make MRI scans less threatening for children and to support their well-being during the scan in such a way that sedation is rendered unnecessary. To achieve this, an interdisciplinary team of computer scientists, students, and medical professionals, as well as creative designers created the “Pengunaut Trainer” (from “Penguin” and “Astronaut”).
The “Pengunaut Trainer” is a Virtual Reality App for smartphones, which prepares kids for MRI scans playfully. Step-by-step and with minigames, children can explore a virtual examination room and the MRI scanner itself. They learn and train how to remain calm and relaxed during a virtual true to the original MRI scan.
In late 2018, we started a multicentric long-term study with our participating partner hospitals, the University Hospital Essen (UKE) and the Kinderklinik Amsterdamer Straße Cologne. A first pilot study indicated the feasibility and effectiveness of our approach (Liszio & Masuch, 2017).
This project is part of the research project “Virtual Reality-System for the Reduction of Children's Anxiety during MRI scans” founded by the European Regional Development Fund (EFRE). It is a nonprofit project for the improvement of children’s health care.
