Evidence (2023-10-19): Created with children in mind, the LEGO MRI scanner can be used by radiologists to walk children through the process before the actual procedure. By providing a safe "practicing space" through something familiar like a LEGO set, stress and anxiety can be greatly reduced. The LEGO MRI scanners began as passion project for LEGO employee Erik Ullerlund Staehr and Odense University Hospital, Denmark in 2015. Since their first prototype, the staff reports that over 200 children aged 4 to 9 have had their concerns addressed and relieved every year. Almost simultaneously, medical staff in the U.S. and Belgium came up with their own LEGO MRI scanners. Now, they've all joined forces with the LEGO Foundation to develop this model and help it reach more places. [...] Hoping to help as many children as possible, LEGO donated 600 LEGO MRI scanners to hospitals around the world. These models were then built by volunteers and shipped for free. Since the response to this project was overwhelmingly positive, LEGO will now work closely with those hospitals that were assigned a LEGO MRI scanner to integrate their feedback and ideas to any future designs.

Evidence (2022-02-23): As such, I was extremely excited to hear that the LEGO Foundation, the charitable arm of the LEGO Group, are planning to donate 600 models of MRI scanners to hospitals around the world to help children to become more familiar and understand the process when they go into hospital for such investigations. [...] Billund, Denmark, 23 February 2022 – The LEGO Foundation has announced it will donate 600 LEGO® MRI Scanners to hospitals worldwide to help children cope with the uncertainty of having a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan. [...] REACHING MORE CHILDRENTo best support the use of LEGO MRI Scanners, the LEGO Foundation has developed four training videos to accompany the model. These videos are designed to help medical staff guide children through the process of an MRI scan – and in turn, facilitate their social and emotional learning through play. The videos are available free of charge to any hospital wanting to learn more about the approach.

Evidence (2022-02-24): To help children cope with the uncertainty of having an MRI scan, the LEGO Foundation will donate 600 LEGO MRI scanners to the first 600 eligible applicants based in a hospital radiology department worldwide. Staehr, a chemical technician at the LEGO Group said, "I’m extremely proud of this project and the positive impact it’s already had. I’ve seen first-hand how children have responded to these models; making them feel more relaxed and turning an often highly stressful experience into a positive, playful one. From making a few LEGO MRI models with other LEGO employees in our free time, it’s amazing to see the project now being rolled out more broadly." The LEGO MRI Scanner is developed with a child-centered focus and learning through play approach, which strengthens children’s skill development. The model is designed around the child’s MRI treatment, and is a means for clinicians to facilitate both role play and dialogue so that the child feels safe and can build confidence and resilience before the actual journey, in turn reducing stress and anxiety. Play motivates the child’s natural curiosity and openness to try new, sometimes difficult, experiences. Because play facilitates a safe and comfortable "training space" for real-life events and consequences, it is a powerful way for children to develop their social and emotional skills. It can also be a part of a range of playful experiences that contribute to clinicians' ambition of reducing the use of anesthesia.

Evidence (2022-01-28): I know from personal experience that getting an MRI is not exactly a lot of fun. A stranger rolls you into a small tube and tells you to remain perfectly still. Then unseen gears and magnets start to whir and crank. In a manner that sounds more like a broken-down car than a sophisticated piece of medical machinery. The whole contraption is jarring, even if you’re not claustrophobic. At least adults generally understand why they’re inside of one, though. Imagine being a kid who doesn’t? It must be a nightmare. This is why LEGO wants to help ease their worries. The company will send custom MRI Scanner LEGO sets to hospitals so children can learn all about them before undergoing the real scan. LEGO has plans to send hospitals their own mini MRI Scanner set (which we first heard about at DesignTAXI). This isn’t for sale, though. Instead, the endeavor is part of the company’s Local Community Engagement program. Here’s what LEGO says about the buildable set and why the company is gifting them to medical institutions. LEGO employee Erik Ullerlund Staehr had a great idea – to build a LEGO model of an MRI scanner that could help medical staff prepare children for treatment. This would reduce their anxiety and make their experience more playful and less scary. The MRI model is now being built by employees across the world to distribute to their local hospitals.

Their uneasiness with doctors only worsens. To try to prepare children for entering an MRI machine and to lower their overall anxiety, LEGO has built an MRI replica to be used in preprocedural explanations. This MRI scanner model, imagined by LEGO worker Erik Ullerlund Staehr, is expected to be distributed amongst hospitals around the world.
