Description

Device, system and method for training a patient arranged to undergo a medical procedure Technical Field The present invention relates to a device, system and method for training a patient arranged to undergo a medical procedure. The medical procedure may generally be any medical imaging procedure (e.g., a medical scan), a medical treatment procedure (e.g., a radiation treatment procedure), or any other diagnostic or interventional procedure. Background Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Computed Tomography (CT) are diagnostic tools widely used in pediatric care, which provide high quality diagnostic images to doctors. However, performing a scan (especially an MRI scan) can be stressful, requiring that the child lie completely stationary in a narrow tunnel of a large device for a period of time ranging from 10 (CT) to 60 (MRI) minutes, while the device emits a strange noise. Scanning children may present challenges to the healthcare personnel in terms of their workflow and diagnostic quality of the scan. Therefore, many hospitals use anesthesia for pediatric scanning. Comprehensive patient preparation may reduce the need for anesthesia, but requires significant time for the staff. To this end, many hospitals create a scanning room for children, for example, by using colored illumination, changing the appearance of the scanner (making it look like a castle or submarine), or allowing children to watch movies during scanning. Another common approach is to prepare and practice with the patient in an imaging facility, such as educational video or face-to-face training using an analog scanner or analog scan session. Some hospitals offer solutions for preparing children at home, such as preparing videos, booklets, and hospital-specific mobile applications. Other imaging facilities incorporate home and hospital preparations and sometimes require adjustments in the scanning room. Many of these methods can improve the scanning experience of pediatric patients while improving the success rate of awake scans. Thus, by preparing and guiding, the rate of sedation/anesthesia in pediatric medical imaging may be reduced. Scan Buddy applications (published 2022) were developed to allow pediatric patients (especially children aged 4-8) and their caregivers to comfortably perform MRI scans at home during the days or weeks prior to the Scan. Scanning for example, saini, p., koehn, c., heuvelink, a, tasar, o, van Vorstenbosch-Lynn, e, nauts, s, and Trout, a.t. "Scan Buddy: A GAMIFIED APP to PREPARE CHILDREN for AN MRI SCAN" (month 6 to month 7, 1, 2022,6, ,In Human-Computer Interaction.
