Background

The Hospital is a fearful place for anyone, especially children. Medical staffs say that stress can affect young patient's willingness for treatment and even their treatment results. This was the same for little Maria. Our campaign was designed so that children could actually experience Little Big e-Motion physically in SJD Barcelona children’s hospital. After the film shoot, the car would be donated to the hospital for future studies. So, on the first day of Little Big e-Motion's donation, we filmed the whole process of our first passenger, Maria's meeting the car, and taking a rided around the hospital experiencing all the medical and entertainment features in the car. Our intention was to film Maria's first encounter moment as naturally as possible.

Hyundai Motor Group developed their emotion adaptive driving technology(EAVC) into an innovative mobility solution for children patients and medical staffs. Little Big e-Motion is a one and only toy car designed just for children in their sick beds. It presents a different, special experience during the ride from their hospital bed to the treatment room. Facial recognition system in Little Big e-Motion identify the child patient’s emotion. Lightings inside and outside the vehicle change colors in steps (red-orange-green) to inform the medical staff of the child’s state. Sensors applied to the seatbelt measures heart and respiratory rate and trigger breathing exercise function to help children stabilize. Music and animation entertain and help children understand the treatment process. Various other features are designed to help children relieve stress and feel refreshed. Moreover, all these measurement data is shared with the medical staff to aid pre check-up process before the main treatment.

Describe the execution (40% of vote)

The project took more than a year to be introduced to the world. First, Hyundai Motor Group cooperated with MIT Media Lab to draw out research tasks that developed into technologies applied to Little Big e-Motion. Then we designed to campaign so that children could experience Little Big e-Motion physically in SJD Barcelona children’s hospital. We filmed this experience and globally executed the campaign via YouTube. Before the main film, 2 teaser films featureing the making & shipping of the mini car was uploaded on various owned media channels to boost attention. Through the campaign we helped the audience around the world realize how important not only physical treatment but also emotional care can be for young patients. Currently, Little Big e-Motion has been donated to the hospital. And is being used for further user tests and studies.
