"Nixi for Children" is a virtual reality tool to reduce preoperative anxiety for pediatric patients and their families developed by Tomàs Lóbez, a former EINA Bachelor’s Degree in Design student, in collaboration with medical teams, patients and families.
The presentation will serve to launch the crowdfunding campaign that will make the real implementation of the project possible, and will count on the presence of all the people who have collaborated selflessly in the project from the beginning (doctors, anaesthetists, psychologists, teachers, parents of patients) and who have helped in the development process of "Nixi for Children".
Multiple studies have shown that preoperative anxiety and stress lengthen the recovery process and increase pain.
The objective of this project, which was born out of the Final Degree Project done by Tomàs in EINA in collaboration with the Hospital Sant Joan de Déu, is to develop training tools and virtual reality experiences for pediatric patients to help them better understand the process they have to go through.
The event has the collaboration of Hospital Universitari Germans Trias i Pujol, J. Torrent Institute, el Celler La Vinyeta, el Museu del Disseny de Barcelona, Sauleda and EINA.
