Inspired by lived experiences. Re-imagined through fantasy. Brought to life with AI.

What does it feel like to take a medication? A medicine might bring relief, but also discomfort. It might offer hope, yet come with uncertainty. And sometimes, the same medicine can feel like both a hero and a villain. We rarely ask, and patients rarely get to tell us.

But what if the medicines we take could speak? What if we could turn these experiences into characters? Would they be heroes, villains, or something in between?

That’s exactly what our nursing students explored in a creative human-centered AI activity using Mythrx, The Loremaster, a Generative AI (GenAI) storytelling companion. Drawing inspiration from their own medication experiences, or those of people close to them, the students transformed these medicines into characters — complete with personalities, powers, weaknesses, and stories to tell.

The result? A total of 22 characters, and a surprising truth hidden inside fantasy. And we didn’t stop at character portraits. We brought them to life with AI-powered voices, animation, and music.
