A nine year-old Canadian who is frequently hospitalised due to ongoing digestive issues has found some comfort by accessing his PS4 via Remote Play.

His latest biopsy showed that his intestine does not contain nerve cells.
Though Harvey can't install his PlayStation 4 console in the hospital, the Remote Play feature on PS Vita has given him the chance to play titles such as Infamous: Second Son.

"It took a little while to connect, and it failed once or twice, but then the UI of the PS4 actually came up on the screen," the report writes.
"It was a little glitchy and pixelated at first but stabilized after a minute or two. Felix was then able to play and never complained about disconnections since."
Harvey, whose condition means he's home-schooled, is often hospitalised for up to seven hours at a time. His family haveset up a Fundrazr page (https://fundrazr.com/campaigns/5b7V9/ab/61rJE2) for people to help with the hospital fees.
His father, Alexis, has sent messages of thanks to PlayStation on Twitter.
