FIRMM-Pix 4+

FIRMM-pix: the immersive in-bore experience for patient stillness

FIRMM-pix is an alternative solution to potential sedation that combines gamification and biofeedback to minimize patient motion and improve brain MRI data quality.

Within this application, you'll be able to simulate the FIRMM-pix experience ahead of your child's MRI appointment. The app will give them a preview of the games they'll get to play while in-bore and learn a bit more about what they'll experience during their scan.

Friendly Forest
Welcome to the Friendly Forest! Here, the child gets to view enchanted creatures that are interacting with their environment and objects that they get to select themselves! But watch out! Those animals don’t like when the child moves within the bore. They will go into hiding, and their chances of viewing a special creature will vanish! Once the child goes back to being still, the creatures will come back and interact with the environment.

Lumacave
It’s time to explore the fabled Lumacave! In this experience, the child is following the glowing trail through the cave, and experiences the majestic environment that is ever changing. The longer they stay still, the higher the chance they will get to see a rare item, and experience new environments. However, if the cave notices the child moving around too much, the vignette will indicate and guide the child to hold more still to continue the illuminating experience.

Puppy Dreams
See into Sleepy Puppy's dreaming mind! This snoozing pooch, Sleepy Puppy, has the most active imagination—it’s a real feast for the eyes. However, they are also a very light sleeper. Even the slightest movement will cause them to stir and the dream bubble to shrink. You’ll need to stay still so Sleepy Puppy can keep dreaming and you can enjoy their dreams, too!
