LEGO CREATED MRI PLAYSETS TO HELP YOUNG PATIENTS
Written by Ballzer on February 28, 2022
The LEGO Foundation has announced it is donating 600 LEGO kits to hospitals worldwide for miniature MRI Scanners—to help children cope with the intimidating process of having a Magnetic Resonance Imaging scan. What started in 2015 as a passion project for LEGO employee Erik Ullerlund Staehr and a Denmark hospital, is now being scaled and piloted with new training material for hospital staffs.
How cool is this?
Getting an MRI scan can be scary, especially if you're young.
