Role: User Research, Road Mapping, Wireframes, UI Design, Pitch Deck and Printed marketing assets.

Overview: PaperPlane Therapeutics creates VR games to ease pain and anxiety in children during medical procedures. With two live games, Dream (ages 5-17) helps manage pain during procedures like broken bones or vaccinations, while Imagine aids kids during MRI sessions. These immersive games enhance procedure quality by minimizing sudden movements and alleviating patient anxiety.

Success and Evolution: While collaborating on this project, we seized a remarkable opportunity to partner with the Quebec vaccine rollout for children, launching our campaign successfully and gaining valuable usage insights.
