Robot buddy fights Kids' fear of needles
NCT ID NCT06556329
Summary
This study tested whether a friendly, AI-enhanced robot could help distract children aged 5-11 during needle procedures like IV insertions. The goal was to see if interacting with the robot could reduce the child's pain, fear, and distress compared to standard care alone. Researchers enrolled 95 children in emergency departments to compare the robot's effect against usual comfort methods.
