Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Children today are more immersed in the digital world, so integrating an AI-powered video to explain the procedure and what they should do can make the process less invasive than traditional behavior-management techniques. This approach can help anxious children feel more comfortable during the induction of conscious sedation especially when the experience is new and fear of the unknown is common; leading to better acceptance of the nasal mask and more effective sedation. Timepoint: Before and during procedure. Same day
