Abstract: The cognitive diversion of a child patient during medical treatment includes receiving an image of a child and processing the image to determine a contemporaneous emotional state, selecting a specific procedure and retrieving a requisite minimum state of distraction necessary for the procedure and comparing the contemporaneous emotional state to the requisite minimum state of distraction. On condition that the contemporaneous emotional state lacks the requisite minimum state of distraction, an activity is identified in a table that correlates to a degree of diversion exceeding the requisite minimum state of distraction, the identified activity is presented in a display and additional imagery of the child processed while the child engages in the identified activity in order to re-determine the contemporaneous emotional state.
