A Little to the Left

Planning the Game Day Experience Room for C.S. Mott Children's Hospital | Design Club

The Michigan Game Day Experience at C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital serves as a specialized therapeutic environment designed to integrate recreational technology into pediatric care.

• The Michigan Game Day Experience at C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital uses a symptom-based approach to integrate video games as therapeutic tools for mitigating pain, boredom, and anxiety in pediatric patients.
• The facility maintains a curated library of 'cozy' and low-barrier titles, such as Journey, Flower, and A Little to the Left, to ensure immediate satisfaction and broad accessibility for diverse cognitive and physical needs.
• Technical operations rely on daily hardware resets and shared, persistent accounts to protect patient privacy while allowing for gameplay progression.
