PilloVR

Modern medical offices now have screens that are meant to distract kids during medical procedures. But how is that supposed to be enough when they can still see the needles? Even Cleveland Clinic released an article on coping strategies for Trypanophobia (fear of needles) and the first coping strategy was to AVOID LOOKING AT THE NEEDLES. And according to Taddio et al. (2009), up to 10% of the population avoid vaccination due to needle phobia. If you think about it, that’s a problem that VR solves effortlessly. It subtracts the fear from the children by first, taking their sight away from the needles, and with PilloVR well-tailored content, it immerses them in another reality making them lose consciousness of the “terrifying” procedure. Honestly, at this point, I'm yet to find any solution as effective as VR when it comes to distracting kids during medical procedures because unlike screens VR has been proven to reduce needle-related fear by 40-50%! The faster we adopt VR, the faster we transform medical experiences for kids. PS: Have you seen a solution more effective than VR? Share your thoughts in the comment section.

Lately, we’ve been getting this question a lot: “Why pay for a PilloVR subscription when we could just buy VR glasses ourselves?” And honestly, I think it’s a totally fair question. But the thing is, PilloVR isn’t like regular VR headsets—it’s an experience built specifically for clinics, kids, and healthcare environments. First off, PilloVR has the type of customized content that doesn’t come with other VR options. The experiences are tailored to keep kids calm and focused, unlike most regular VR apps that are all about gaming, which just doesn’t work in a healthcare setting. Then there’s the safety aspect of it. PilloVR is designed to meet clinical safety standards—without the risk of any surprises like motion sickness or overstimulation, making PilloVR gentle, therapeutic, and safe for any healthcare setting. Most VR headsets from stores require app installations, which obviously need a WiFi connection. And WiFi in clinics often requires extra sign-ins, making these tools nearly impossible to use. We simplified the experience with PilloVR—it needs no setup and is ready to go in seconds. And let’s not forget that nurses are already overworked and underpaid, and expecting them to learn a new VR tool isn’t realistic. With PilloVR, there’s no extra hassle—the tool is so simple that any staff member, no matter how busy, can get it going without stress. So yes, you can probably buy a regular VR headset, but none come with an easy setup and clinical focus like PilloVR. With our offer, you don’t have to worry at all—you get 24/7 support, plus a free replacement if the headset ever breaks. Do you think this subscription is worth it?

We are happy to announce that PilloVR is opening a branch in Saudi Arabia with Hasan Alshabanah FRCPC MMM (the Director of Health Provision at NEOM) as our new Regional Director. This is our second branch, following the one in the United States. Hassan has been a key figure in driving healthcare innovation in one of the most ambitious projects of our century and his expertise aligns perfectly with our mission to transform pediatric care through immersive VR solutions. Apart from being the hub of the Arab world, Saudi Arabia is on the way to becoming a global leader in tech and healthcare innovation. The country’s latest strategy, like the $100 billion AI project in partnership with Google Cloud, is a testament to its vision for the future and we believe there is no better place to further our mission. We feel very confident that PilloVR will make a meaningful impact in this region, especially because of its strong family values and deep love for children. Plus, we are excited to take this step forward in our shared vision to create a better healthcare experience for kids.

There’s literally no method we haven’t seen when it comes to distracting kids during medical procedures. I think it’s safe to say we have tried everything – toys, tablets, and even buzzy bee. Truth is, they all have their Strengths but are somewhat limited in one way or the other. Toys can only be fun for so long until the child loses interest and that’s just if the child likes the toy to begin with. Of course, tablets can offer games and videos but let’s be real, the moment they see those needles, they get over the tablets. And while the Buzzy Bee is cute, it’s just a temporary distraction. But with PilloVR we immerse the child in a world that’s tailored to their interests and captures their imagination. In fact, Once they put on those VR goggles, they’re already in a different world, allowing them to forget all about the procedure. And guess what? while other methods need constant purchasing of new toys or apps, all PilloVR needs is a subscription fee and you get updated content. This means VR is not only more effective than all other methods but also more cost-effective. How can one solution deliver on both ends? ?? Honestly, If you are serious about making medical procedures less stressful for kids in your clinic, I’d suggest you choose a solution that actually works What’s that one thing that’s stopping you from using VR in your practice? I’d love to hear them in the comments.
