Abstract
BACKGROUND: Radical Connections' program "Unmasked Connections" provides virtual personalized and interactive arts performances to residents living in long-term care (LTC). This project assessed its impact on the quality of life (QoL) of residents, artists and staff. METHODS: Residents were paired with artists based on shared artistic interests for 40-minute virtual one-on-one sessions. Semi-structured interviews on QoL with 14 participants were transcribed, coded and analyzed using the Framework Method of analysis. RESULTS: Five artists, six residents, a recreation technician and two summer students participated in the interviews. The themes developed included 1) Happiness, Health and Gratitude; 2) Deep and Meaningful Connections; 3) Reminiscence and Nostalgia; and 4) Features of Delivery are Important. Artists expressed compassion and gratitude for the program and staff highlighted residents' excitement. Most participants recommended to others or wished to continue with "Unmasked Connections". CONCLUSIONS: "Unmasked Connections" fostered meaningful interactions, improved emotional health and highlighted the important role of arts in healthcare.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
