ShadowHeal is an innovative pediatric burn recovery pressure garment designed for children aged 2 to 14. It integrates professional scar therapy with interactive play to reduce treatment-related stress. The system includes a soft, breathable pressure garment and adjustable straps, designed for comfort during prolonged wear. A unique built-in projection light system in the straps displays shadow-puppet visuals based on three engaging themes: a surfer riding waves (blue), a camel crossing the desert (yellow), and a squirrel climbing trees (green). These projected images encourage children to play games and interact during therapy, helping them stay calm and engaged. ShadowHeal also incorporates a real-time hardness tester to monitor scar condition, ensuring treatment remains effective and personalized. By combining therapeutic efficacy with emotional support and distraction, ShadowHeal transforms a typically difficult recovery process into a more enjoyable and manageable experience for young patients and their caregivers.
