Summary

This study tests whether showing preschool children a short, AI-generated educational video before common medical procedures (like shots or blood draws) can reduce their anxiety, pain, and negative behavior afterward. About 110 children aged 3 to 6 will either watch the video or receive standard care. The goal is to see if this simple, child-friendly preparation tool improves the experience for young patients.
