Using a Robot to Address the Well-Being, Social Isolation, and Loneliness of Care Home Residents via Video Calls: Qualitative Feasibility Study

Using a Robot to Address the Well-Being, Social Isolation, and Loneliness of Care Home Residents via Video Calls: Qualitative Feasibility Study

The robot was introduced to the care staff and patients, and was used for 6 weeks. Care staff and family members were introduced to the robot and received training before starting the project. Patients and family members communicated through the robot regularly, but the robot did not replace actual visits.

User-Centered Prototype Design of a Health Care Robot for Treating Type 2 Diabetes in the Community Pharmacy: Development and Usability Study

User-Centered Prototype Design of a Health Care Robot for Treating Type 2 Diabetes in the Community Pharmacy: Development and Usability Study

The research design framework for the prototype robot comprised three steps: using an evidence-based literature review and team meeting to design and develop the robot prototype, evaluating feasibility through collecting pre- and postassessment questionnaires, and exploring needs and acceptance through interviews with the target population, as illustrated in Figure 1. The research design framework for the prototype robot used in community-based diabetes care.

Automated Process for Monitoring of Amiodarone Treatment: Development and Evaluation

Automated Process for Monitoring of Amiodarone Treatment: Development and Evaluation

Notably, the existing routine process remained in operation during the whole period, with the manual routine executed without awareness of the robot, such that the physician’s orders constituted the real-world outcome and robot 2 worked in parallel producing outcomes only available to the research team. Paired orders, from the physician and robot 2, were compared.

Adoption of Artificial Intelligence–Enabled Robots in Long-Term Care Homes by Health Care Providers: Scoping Review

Adoption of Artificial Intelligence–Enabled Robots in Long-Term Care Homes by Health Care Providers: Scoping Review

We adopted an inclusive approach to how we considered a robot an AI-enabled robot. We considered a robot an AI-enabled robot if it has AI features according to our AI-enabled robot definition as mentioned in the Introduction section. Textbox 2 explains how each robot included in this scoping review is related to our AI-enabled definition.

Improving the Social Well-Being of Single Older Adults Using the LOVOT Social Robot: Qualitative Phenomenological Study

This study fills this gap in the literature by investigating how older Singaporeans accept and interact with LOVOT (Love+Robot), a Japanese social robot. Loneliness is not synonymous with being alone or living alone; a person can experience loneliness even when they are surrounded by other people.

Older Adults’ Engagement and Mood During Robot-Assisted Group Activities in Nursing Homes: Development and Observational Pilot Study

Older Adults’ Engagement and Mood During Robot-Assisted Group Activities in Nursing Homes: Development and Observational Pilot Study

The first indications that older adults liked to participate in robot-assisted group activities for physical activities are shown in [21,22]. The robot NAO was found suitable to be used in group settings for moving, memory training, entertainment, music, dancing, and games [23]. One study showed that older adults in a nursing home prefer walking with a robot rather than walking alone [24].

Identifying Preferred Appearance and Functional Requirements of Aged Care Robots Among Older Chinese Immigrants: Cross-Sectional Study

Identifying Preferred Appearance and Functional Requirements of Aged Care Robots Among Older Chinese Immigrants: Cross-Sectional Study

Additionally, the social robot Paro (an animal seal robot) was tested in Taiwan with 20 older adults in a long-term care facility for 8 weeks using a single-group pre-post quasi-experimental design and showed a statistical decrease in depression and loneliness and an increase in quality of life among the participants [8].
