Summary

This trial tests whether a single 10-minute lesson from an artificially intelligent robot can improve inhaler technique and asthma control in children ages 4 to 11. Researchers will compare standard asthma education with the robot-led session, measuring inhaler skills, medication adherence, and caregiver burden. The goal is to see if a friendly robot can make asthma education more engaging and effective for young patients.
