Title	Therapeutic Play
Brief	The charity Gamers Outreach partnered with Xbox to create ‘Therapeutic Play’, a reinvention of gaming as a tool to help aid recovery for children in hospitals. It was all made possible by an innovation – part console, part hospital equipment – that made gaming in the medical environment a reality, and one that was impossible for regular consoles to achieve due to cost and hygiene. The kart, powered by Xbox, was specially designed for the hospital setting, with medical-grade materials for sanitation, ergonomic trays for hospital devices, swivel wheels to transport around the wards and a shape that would work with other hospital furniture. Suddenly, gaming became not just a bit of fun, but part of the recovery process, aiding children’s mental health through connecting with others in similar situations, and playing a part in their physical recovery by keeping them engrossed as medical staff treated them.
