No Isolation for kids at hospital
Organization information
Laurette Fugain
Location: Levis Saint Nom, France
Summary
The program has 2 main objectives : 1/ reduce young patients' relational isolation and loneliness and maintain close contact with their relatives/school/friends during long-term hospitalizations ; 2/ Facilitate the return to school and to the family, limit the psychological impacts on siblings. This is possible thanks to an easy-to-use robot being the avatar of the patient outside. The robot has become unavoidable in this period of pandemic and dramatically increased patient isolation.
