A Research Based Storythat Generated VH
The driving need
As new parents, we witnessed the struggles of our young ones during vaccination and vowed to do our best to eliminate such suffering
Imagining a solution
While using similar technologies in other domains, the idea of employing virtual reality to support children vaccinations was born
Implementation
After careful design of a first approach the initial implementation was performed
Research
Research on VH protocol (VACS) to record stress of children during the vaccination process has started. Furthermore, VH is researched to record if stress reduction occurs.
Research stage 1 Completed
With more than 300 children evaluated with VACS protocol and more than 100 children vaccinated using VaccineHero (VR) the first stage of research is completed.
VH wins the first prize
VH receives the winning prize (1st prize) by Hejuba (Switzerland) and starts working on the second version of VaccineHero application.
VaccineHero v2.0
We introduce VH V2.0 which can be directly used by medical staff and doctors, available in 3 languages.
Medical staff that used VH say
"The implementation of the tool "VaccineHero" in my pediatric practice has been highly effective. It significantly reduced the discomfort of both children and parents and greatly improved their cooperation. It has now become an indispensable and valuable aid in my everyday pediatric practice."
"Calm children, happy parents. A fear-free experience that transformed the atmosphere in my practice"
