Assessing the Use of Communication Robots for Recreational Activities at Nursing Homes
نویسنده
چکیده
We are using information communication technology and communication robots (hereafter referred to as "robots") to develop a service to assist recreational activities at nursing homes. The service relies on visual content to deliver a variety of recreational activities, from exercises to reminiscence therapy. Robots support those activities by interacting with nursing home residents. These services are currently being evaluated at various elderly care facilities, where they have been installed. This report will review the recreational contents that are currently under development, the outline of the assessments, and present the latest data from those assessments.
