Hospitals are getting creative when it comes to making children feel safe and secure thanks to such fun additions as a toy CT scanner. Not only does such a station occupy little ones while they wait for their own check-ups and procedures, it helps to shed light and understanding on what they will be going through.
This particular toy CT scanner was designed by Creative Arts. It works with three plush toys. When children put the stuffed animals through the scanner, the screen displays cartoon images of the internal organs. By taking a scary experience and putting a playful spin on it, the toy CT scanner ensures all parties involved come away with the best results they can.
The toy CT scanner could spur on a range of other creative implementations for hospitals and more.
