Official title
Generating Personalized Stories With Artificial Intelligence for Pediatric Kidney Recipients
Overview
Pediatric kidney transplant recipients often face major psychosocial challenges that are difficult to address with existing tools. This study evaluates whether clinically supervised AI can generate personalized, age-adapted therapeutic stories for these children and their families.
Detailed description
Pediatric kidney transplant recipients face substantial psychosocial challenges, including anxiety, fear, difficulty understanding complex medical experiences, and challenges returning to school and social life. Therapeutic storytelling may help children process these experiences, but truly personalized stories are difficult to produce manually at scale. Large language models offer the opportunity to generate age-adapted, personalized, and clinically supervised stories. This study aims to develop and evaluate an AI-assisted storytelling workflow for pediatric kidney recipients and their families.
Interventions
- Other AI-generated story
A story generated by artificial intelligence is created and personalized for pediatric kidney recipient - Other AI generated story
This is a minimal-risk observational study. Families complete a questionnaire and receive an AI-generated, clinically supervised personalized story. During the pilot phase, there is no direct child-AI interaction. All stories are reviewed by the clinical lead before delivery.
Primary outcome measures
- Child and family experience of the story after delivery. [Time frame: One month after story delivery]
- Child and family experience of the story after delivery. [Time frame: One month after the story is delivered]
