About TOMMI

TOMMI is a Virtual Reality experience developed to help children better cope with stressful and painful medical treatments, aiming to reduce patients’ sedation rate and providing them stress, clinical anxiety and pain relief. TOMMI is designed in collaboration with doctors and provided in form of a VR game, applying evidence based approaches to engage children senses and focus their attention out of therapy negative feelings. Game design has a special focus on pediatric oncology, but it also applies to pediatric dentistry and orthopedics, and it involves children parents too during the gaming sessions. At the same time, game levels are developed to test children therapy related psychomotor skills and the project uses proprietary AI to measure stress related biometrics through innovative data collection and analysis methods. This way, TOMMI provides objective metrics about patients wellbeing conditions and stress levels, aiming to support children tracking during therapy and support the medical staff work routine. TOMMI team was selected to join 3 International accelerator programs, Merck Accelerator Program in Germany (2017), TMCx at Texas Medical Center in US (2018), Accelerace in Denmark (2018) and it’s now part of Silicon Valley’s Y Combinator Startup School 2018. TOMMI has been also awarded with several prizes supporting its innovative approach: Pfizer Healthcare Challenge (2017), Premio Nidi by Innovami (2017), Web Marketing Festival prize (2017), Italian Startup Europe Awards (2017), Boost Your Idea (2018), Premio Marzotto (2017). TOMMI is now ready to be tested in hospitals and first clinical collaborations are raising in Italy, Houston’s Texas Medical Center and Denmark. TOMMI is the first product of Softcare Studios, a digital health startup founded in 2017 in Rome by a team of professional, passionated and visionary entrepreneurs committed to improve patients therapy experience using virtual reality and artificial intelligence.
