Innovation & Research Highlights
The People Behind Healthcare Innovation: Interview with Dr Evelyn Chan, CEO and co-founder of Smileyscope
Frustrated by the lack of options to help children with their biggest healthcare fears, pediatrician Dr. Evelyn Chan led a group who conducted world-leading research into virtual reality. Smileyscope was developed as a drug-free solution to ease patient pain and anxiety during medical procedures, while making the procedure easier, faster and safer for clinicians.
Virtual Reality: A Tool for Making Healthcare More Accessible to Patients with Autism
Anxiety is one of the most common conditions for children with autism spectrum disorder. This can often lead to behavioral challenges, longer admissions, and unnecessary sedation. Smileyscope has specifically designed its virtual reality experiences to reduce sensory overload, alleviate fears and support patients with autism by changing their situational perception and immersing them in a safe and controlled environment.
Virtual Reality for Pediatric Needle Procedural Pain: Two Randomized Clinical Trials
Smileyscope was proven to reduce pain, anxiety and need for restraints in the world’s largest virtual reality procedural trials. This was performed in the emergency department (ED) and outpatient pathology in children aged 4-11 years undergoing venous needle procedures. Since then, Smileyscope has now been used in over 15 clinical studies, showing safety and efficacy in a broad range of children and adults, and procedure types.
