The MAT Program
The Mobile Aquatic Therapy (MAT) program was designed and implemented by Chicago-based aquatic systems company, Something Fishy Inc.. MAT is an all-inclusive program that provides patients within hospital settings a way to enjoy and benefit from a state-of-the-art hospital grade mobile aquarium that can travel to anywhere it is needed most.
Our mission at Something Fishy Inc. is to offer not just an aquatic system – but an experience through our unique designs, therapeutic components, and educational content. We focus on building strong relationships with people to provide aquatic systems and programs that leave long-lasting impressions.

RELAX WITH US
A healthcare professional’s primary focus is their patients. A MAT unit requires absolutely no staff care other than properly transporting the aquarium to wherever it is needed most. A qualified staff member can unplug the unit, travel with the unit to a new location, and plug the unit back in – that’s it! Our service technicians service the MAT unit weekly and electronically submit a web-based service log to any authorized contact provided.
LEARN WITH US
The MAT program is more than just an aquarium. While the aquarium provides a tremendous amount of stress-relief and distraction, we want patients to have the ability to get immersed in our aquariums through the fun and educational content we provide with our program. Whether it is an age-specific activity or something for the entire family to partake in and enjoy, there are no age restrictions on fun and learning!
GROW WITH US
By providing the MAT aquariums in an all-inclusive program, organizations can have their MAT aquarium grow as our program continues to grow. As we develop and enhance the program and aquariums, those advancements are immediately provided to our clients. There is never a need to “upgrade” or purchase a newer unit or program structure.
