Video Games as a Therapeutic Tool at Seattle Children's Hospital

Video Games as a Therapeutic Tool at Seattle Children's Hospital

Staff at Seattle Children's Hospital are turning to video games to help treat patients, providing a unique and engaging distraction during challenging medical procedures. The innovative approach aims to alleviate anxiety and improve the overall experience for young patients facing various treatments.

By incorporating video games into the hospital environment, healthcare professionals have observed positive effects on children's emotional well-being. The immersive nature of gaming allows kids to temporarily escape their medical circumstances, helping to reduce stress and fear associated with treatments.

In addition to serving as a distraction, video games can also promote social interaction among patients, encouraging them to connect with peers who may be undergoing similar experiences. This sense of community can be vital for children who may feel isolated due to their health conditions.

As this trend continues to gain momentum, it highlights the importance of innovative strategies in pediatric care, ultimately aiming to enhance the quality of treatment and the overall hospital experience for young patients.
