Social emotional learning toy

A system, apparatus, and method for educating and reducing stress for patients with childhood illnesses or trauma is disclosed, which uses an interactive location-aware toy and a distributed sensor network in a healthcare facility. Patients are educated and calmed by providing location-specific education and stress reduction techniques. The system's implementation logic can be used to coordinate care for patients, track a patient's progress in completing a custom care treatment plan, and create reminders about appointments, medication adherence, or the like. Healthcare providers can better assist and track the progress of the patient's completion of the custom care treatment plan.

An interactive augmented reality system for simulating medical procedures for pediatric disease education includes a plush toy having one or more patches disposed on a body of the plush toy in one or more corresponding locations each associated with an area of the body of the plush toy that is comparable to an area of a human body. An interactive medical procedure simulation logic section operable within a mobile device causes a particular patch within a series of live images to be scanned, and initiates an interactive augmented reality experience to simulate a medical procedure for pediatric disease education. Comfort is provided to children struggling with a disease. Children learn how to manage their chronic illness by enabling them to practice their medical procedures and receive feedback related to correct and incorrect care. A low-cost disease education delivery mechanism is provided directly to children through game-play.

An interactive toy serving as a surrogate by emulating chronic condition characteristics of a child and providing responses and output to educate user about the chronic condition. The toy may include a microprocessor and memory, and a plurality of sensors that receive information representative of a treatment for the chronic condition and output systems that simulate reaction to the treatment of the chronic condition. The toy may include a plurality of replica food articles that interact with the sensors and the output systems. The toy may further include a plurality of replica or real medical devices that interact with the sensors to simulate reaction to treatment via the output systems.
