When 'I See You' detects a hospital in the vicinity of the device, a notification for the app will appear to alert a child that they can become a detective and discover the hospital around them Opening the app notification will lead to the checklist of medical equipment for the child to try to find in the room around them

The Checklist

What happens once something is checked off the list?

Once something is checked off, a blurb will appear on the screen explaining the identified piece of medical equipment using minimally threatening, developmentally appropriate language

Let's try it:

Medical 'Blurb' example:

You found a heart rate monitor!

What does it do? This machine tells the doctors and nurses information about your body. There are a lot of wires connecting to it that help it work. Usually, a small cover gives one of your fingers a hug to connect to the monitor so it knows what's happening in your body!
