Okee in Medical Imaging

From the Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne, this app helps children to prepare for having medical imaging.
Coming to hospital for medical imaging (radiology) can be a little overwhelming - especially if it’s your first visit! But this is where Okee the Octopus and his friends can help. They’ll show you the ropes and have you ready for your appointment in no time. In fact, they’re having so much fun you’ll want to join in their games even if you don’t need to have your picture taken. And that’s okay too - they love company!
