It’s been 13 years since Barbara Trattler last worked in a hospital, but she can still feel the stress of that job in her bones.

As a head surgical nurse and perioperative administrator for more than two decades, Trattler performed the operating room equivalent of air traffic control, managing schedules and staffing—duties that often followed her home, well after a long 10- to 12-hour workday.

The invention, called “My Special Aflac Duck,” was named one of Time Magazine’s best inventions of 2018, and it’s easy to see why, as kids rapidly grow attached to them. “We consider the duck a social robot,” inventor Aaron J. Horowitz said. “He is a constant companion for kids that can really share in the experience that they are having, and can give them a better tool to communicate how they feel.” The duck responds to the touch of a child’s hands, and can even indicate that it’s being tickled, quacking rapidly when it’s tickled under its wings.
