ABSTRACT
This paper presents a case study on the design of a unique tangible media device to alleviate anxiety and pain in paediatric burns patients. The multidisciplinary interaction design approach used throughout the study is presented together with the hardware and content design solution. Results of an initial study are presented which qualify the use of the device within a clinical trial. The paper concludes with a reflection on the process undertaken leading to suggestions for undertaking successful collaborative projects which span medical science, computer science and design disciplines.
