To address this challenge, we created Forest Friends, a magical environment of interactive interventions that support a patient during three stressful waypoints on their journey: the Pediatric Waiting Room, the Exam Room, and the Anesthesia Induction Room.
To create Forest Friends, we transferred our years of experience with museum and institutional environments into a new setting — healthcare — where the effects of an interactive experience not only create delight for our most vulnerable users, but may have transformative effects on what matters most: their health.
