From “Ow” to “Wow” changes normal rooms into amazing places that distract patient’s fear and anxiety.
Transforming Pediatric Care Through Immersive Black Light Art.
Watch Our Wow Rooms in Action
help transform a child's frightening medical moments into moments of wonder
Needle-based procedures are among the most fear-inducing experiences for children. WOW Rooms use immersive black light art to replace pain and anxiety.
Pediatric Blood Draw Labs
Born from a lab director's firsthand experience, WOW Rooms were designed specifically to reduce fear and anxiety during pediatric phlebotomy. Children who enter a WOW Room go from crying and screaming to laughing — sometimes before the procedure even begins.
Pediatric Vaccination Settings
Fear of needles is one of the leading barriers to childhood vaccination compliance. WOW Rooms transform pediatrician offices, vaccination clinics, and school health suites into immersive environments that reduce procedural anxiety — helping more children complete their immunization schedules without trauma.
Pediatric Therapy & Treatment Rooms
Any space where children experience anxiety around medical procedures can benefit from a WOW Room. Oncology infusion suites, pre-op waiting areas, and outpatient treatment rooms become places of wonder — turning a child's most stressful moments into something they actually look forward to.
Pediatric Emergency Rooms
Emergency departments are among the most stressful environments a child can enter — often in pain, frightened, and surrounded by unfamiliar equipment and strangers. A WOW Room transforms the pediatric ED bay or waiting area into an immersive world that captures a child's attention, lowers their anxiety, and helps clinical staff work more effectively with a calmer patient.
Pediatric Specialty Clinics
From pediatric oncology and cardiology to neurology and orthopedics, specialty clinics see children who return for repeated procedures over months or years. WOW Rooms help break the cycle of anticipatory anxiety — so that each visit carries less dread than the last. For children managing chronic conditions, that shift in emotional experience can be genuinely life-changing.
From Ow to Wow was founded by a former laboratory director with clinical experience. Mayo Clinic. specifically requested a presentation about the first WOW room. Wow rooms bring a healthcare professional's understanding of pediatric procedural anxiety to every room we design.
