Playhouse MD™ Launches on Amazon
In a groundbreaking move for pediatric healthcare, Playhouse MD™ has officially debuted its range of playful medical devices on Amazon, with distribution led by McKesson Medical-Surgical. This innovative healthcare brand, focused on enhancing at-home pediatric care, aims to transform the often daunting healthcare experience into engaging moments filled with joy for children and their families.
Founded by Dr. Kaitlin Wiseman, a dedicated family physician, alongside award-winning toy creator Sydney Wiseman and entreprenuer Michael Kamins, Playhouse MD™ emerged from two years of meticulous development in collaboration with the global design firm, IDEO. With the goal of alleviating the stress associated with at-home care, the brand aims to blend clinical effectiveness with playful, character-driven designs—encouraging children to develop positive associations with health and wellness from an early age.
The partnership with McKesson Medical-Surgical marks a significant milestone for Playhouse MD™, being the first pediatric brand focused on play within the company's extensive catalog, which comprises over 300,000 products. McKesson is known for its tailored e-commerce solutions that help medical and wellness brands reach their target audiences. According to Michael Kamins, Co-Founder and COO of Playhouse MD™, this strategic association enables their mission to reach families nationwide and enhances accessibility to their products through Amazon.
Playful Approach to Pediatric Healthcare
The launching of Playhouse MD™ on Amazon is not merely about distribution; it's a bold statement in the realm of pediatric healthcare, where play is at the heart of the healing process. The devices designed by Playhouse MD™ provide vital care that is both engaging and functional. By turning healthcare moments—often filled with fear and anxiety—into imaginative experiences, the brand intends to create a supportive environment for children.
Dr. Wiseman emphasized, "Our goal is to transform the experience families have on sick days by making play a central part of relief and care. We believe that infusing fun into healthcare not only helps in reducing anxiety but also fosters a sense of curiosity and learning in children as they embark on their health journeys."
McKesson's Excitement and Support
Stanton McComb, the President of McKesson Medical-Surgical, expressed enthusiasm regarding the collaboration, indicating that Playhouse MD™’s unique approach combines clinical integrity with imaginative designs, creating meaningful advancements in pediatric care. The distribution agreement ensures that these innovative products will reach families who need them most, linking modern healthcare solutions with an engaging user experience.
Future Plans for Expansion
Looking ahead, Playhouse MD™ and McKesson have plans to expand beyond e-commerce. The brand is set to explore B2B healthcare markets and intends to bring its transformative medical device portfolio into pediatric offices and hospitals, further enhancing the care capabilities available to families and health professionals alike.
Healthcare should not be merely about functionality; it should encompass a holistic experience—one where laughter and play go hand in hand with recovery and wellness. Playhouse MD™ is determined to change the narrative surrounding pediatric care, inviting families to embark on a journey filled with creativity and understanding.
With a commitment to making healthcare less intimidating for children, Playhouse MD™ shows that the real revolution in pediatric care isn’t just about the devices we use, but how they make kids feel. For more information, visit
