Feasibility of the Reality PAWS Program for Children in Isolation

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a mixed reality program, Reality PAWS, delivered on a Meta Quest 3 VR headset, is a feasible intervention for pediatric patients in isolation. It will also evaluate the safety of the program and its effect on pain, anxiety, and loneliness. The main questions the study aims to answer are: What is the feasibility of utilizing Reality PAWS MR as a substitute for in-person dog therapy for children under isolation precautions? Are patients compliant with using Reality PAWS MR? What are the interventional outcomes of Reality PAWS MR? Participants will: Wear a Meta Quest 3 VR headset with the Reality PAWS program.
