| Summary: | For children, therapeutic play—structured activities tailored to age, cognitive abilities, and health—alleviates health-related anxiety and improves outcomes. This study introduces Sora, a text-to-video artificial intelligence (AI) software, as a novel tool to enhance therapeutic play. Using Sora, we generated videos tailored to children's interests. The personalized videos were designed to foster emotional well-being and provide education for pediatric patients. We demonstrate Sora's versatility, as its videos can be tweaked to match a child's interests, preferences, and medical conditions. Videos for emotional support depict a teddy bear in playful outfits comfortably using an inhaler, a nebulizer, or an EpiPen. We also demonstrate Sora's educational potential with a video that uses a seesaw to illustrate diabetes management. Overall, this study represents the first application of text-to-video AI software in pediatrics. Through personalized child-like videos, Sora can foster a sense of comfort and engagement for children in hospital. |
