Bungie iPads For Kids
The Bungie Foundation aims to reduce distress and suffering in children through entertainment. The iPads for Kids program reduces distress and suffering in children by providing patients with fully customized, age-appropriate entertainment that allows for distraction, therapeutic play, and a sense of normalcy that is vital to creating a positive hospital experience in an otherwise stressful and scary situation. While donated iPads from the iPads for Kids program began in 2013, a more formal effort to deploy across much of the hospital kicked off in summer 2018.
Pilot Goals
- Deploy iPads to all in-patient rooms at Seattle Children’s.
- Partner Get Well Network with each iPad to improve patient /family engagement in their care.
- Create new clinical and technology workflows to allow for implementation.
