Smileyscope digital headsets

The Smileyscope virtual reality technology solutions are aimed at reducing a patient’s pain, stress and anxiety when having common medical procedures, such as blood tests, vaccinations and medical imaging.

The company’s digital headsets change potentially stressful environments, such as hospitals and clinics, to relaxing virtual locations, like underwater worlds full of colourful fish.

By using virtual reality technology to make needle procedures less scary for children, procedures could be completed faster and without the need for sedation or rescheduling appointments. This could help children get access to the treatment they need without delay.

Smileyscope’s headsets are medical grade and fully wipeable, which means they can be used in acute care settings from an infection control point of view. They are lightweight and can be used by children as young as four years old.
