Hi, We are working intensively on using play as a tool for healthcare professionals — including nurses, doctors, cleaning staff, porters, and secretaries — so that every meeting makes sense and the child feels involved and safe. We are also working on reducing the need for sedation in children undergoing MRI scans, and we would LOVE to receive a donation of a LEGO MRI set. This would help doctors and nurses play with the children and explain what is going to happen in a fun and comforting way. Kind regards.
Fantastisk initiativ. Vi vil som brancheforening for de virksomheder som producerer og sælger disse scannere meget gerne bistå med de ambitioner som I har i LEGO. Ræk endelig ud hvis det kunne være en vej til udbredelse af viden om dette😃
What an amazing initiative! Truly inspiring how you can ease a difficult situation through the well loved LEGO sets.
Great to see medical technology represented in LEGO form! I’ve also designed a modern MRI room in LEGO – it’s amazing how brick building can help visualize healthcare innovation.

This is absolutely genious. As a mother who had to take her daughter into dozens of PET scans , I have had to improvise and make “make-shift” scanning machines at home for her dolls. This will have a real impact in the life of kids. ❤️
This is great - I worked with a young person who experienced cancer when she was 7 and she used lego as one of her tools to tell her story - we worked together over 3 years to find a language to comfortably share her story with other children and one scene was entirely based on her love of lego --> https://originofcarmenpower.co.uk/scene-five . The whole piece uses different playful tools to tell her story and exploring a number of childhood post-treatment cancer themes too.
what a wonderful thing to do 😍
Great product! YT videos of actual MRI helped me prepare my kids for the procedure without sedation. It would be even better if parents could by one and play with kids days or weeks in advance.

1wBetween the ages of 5 and 7, I was in the hospital every week for chemo. The children's ward had a Lego pit which I still remember clearly 32 years later. It might not have been a Lego MRI set, but I can confirm that it made those awful days a whole lot better❤️
