Award-Winning Toy Creator And Family Physician Team Launch Playhouse MDTM To Reimagine Pediatric Healthcare

(MENAFN- PR Newswire) Sick days are never easy, for kids or their caregivers. From giving medicine to a squirming baby to battling midnight boogers, these small yet recurring tasks can feel huge and stressful. Playhouse MD^TM was born from those very moments, designed to bring comfort, connection and just a little more ease to pediatric care. Playhouse MD^TM seamlessly combines pediatric healthcare with the universal language of play through its doctor-designed medical devices with kid-friendly characters and playful prompts.

"As a doctor and mom of two, I know firsthand how challenging pediatric care can be," says Dr. Kaitlin Wiseman, Co-Founder and Chief Medical Officer of Playhouse MD^TM. "At Playhouse MD, we're not reinventing the science behind medical devices - we're reimagining the care experience. By telling a story through friendly characters like narwhals, butterflies and elephants, we help turn tough healthcare moments into playful, cooperative ones. The result isn't just more smiles; it's a stronger connection between children and their parents and a more positive relationship with healthcare."

Turning their vision of doctor-designed medical devices supplemented by playful storytelling into a reality took more than innovation - it required assembling a world-class team of healthcare experts alongside a network of leading business minds and renowned play specialists. Each Playhouse MD^TM medical device features a kid-friendly character design and includes the brand's signature Playful Prompts Guide, which helps empower both kids and adults.

"As a toymaker, I've always believed in the magic of a child's imagination - it's pure, powerful and endlessly creative," says Sydney Wiseman, Co-Founder and Chief Play Officer of Playhouse MD^TM. "We saw a unique opportunity to bring that same spark into healthcare by reimagining everyday challenges through the lens of play. With our playful prompts and characters, our goal is to turn tough moments into imaginative ones and help kids feel more at ease, and give parents a little more peace of mind."

Playhouse MD^TM's innovative approach to transforming pediatric healthcare through play has also garnered support from industry leaders in the play space.

"My life's work has been rooted in the belief that play is more than entertainment - it's a vital part of how children grow, learn and understand the world around them," says Alan Hassenfeld, former Chairman and CEO of Hasbro, Inc and investor in Playhouse MD^TM. "That same philosophy lives in Playhouse MD with their innovative approach that brings clinical care into a child's world with empathy, creativity and joy. By integrating play into healthcare, they're not only easing fear; they're building trust, confidence and lasting emotional well-being and I'm honored to partner with a team that's so aligned with my own personal values."
