Conceived in the burns unit to help kids through painful procedures, ditto apps are now available for all sorts of treatments right across the hospital. Now on Apple devices they are just what the doctor ordered! These interactive apps help children cope with a range of painful medical procedures.

Emily has a lumbar puncture is an interactive procedural preparation story centered around Emily who is in the hospital with her dad
to have her lumbar puncture. Designed for use by children before their treatment, this story prepares them for the standard
procedures, people and medical instruments they are about to come into contact with during their visit to the hospital. While having
fun getting to know Emily, her dad, Dr Mark and Nurse Marie, children will be asked to find certain objects to progress to the next
scene. The view can be rotated and swiveled 360 degrees around the scene to look for objects simply by tipping and
turning the iPad.

Turning kid's stress around..
