“…For the category Responsive (where interaction between this type of robots and the human (patient) is by means of touch), we found Paro ( PARO Robots, 2014 ), a renowned example system in care that is designed to bring animal therapy to places where it is not possible to be administered with real animals. Huggable ( Robotics today, 2006 ; Stiehl et al, 2006 ; Personal Robots Group, 2015 ; Jeong et al, 2018 ), which also aims at providing the benefits of animal therapy and helping the staff who work with the residents, and OurPuppet ( Kuhlmann et al, 2018 ; Naroska et al, 2018 ; German Federal Ministry of Education and Research, 2019a ; OurPuppet, 2019 ), which is a robot with no animal shape that tries to achieve similar benefits as the two previous examples. The main objective of the three robots is to reduce the stress and depression levels in users and to improve their emotional health and interaction capabilities with the other patients and the medical staff.…”

An increase of the aging population with a decrease in the available nursing staff has been seen in recent years. These two factors combined present a challenging problem for the future and has since become a political issue in many countries. Technological advances in robotics have made its use possible in new application fields like care and thus it appears to be a viable technological avenue to address the projected nursing labor shortage. The introduction of robots in nursing care creates an active triangular collaboration between the patient, nurse, and robot, which makes this area significantly different from traditional human–robot interaction (HRI) settings. In this review, we identify 133 robotic systems addressing nursing. We classify them according to two schemes: 1) a technical classification extended to include both patient and nurse and 2) a novel data-derived hierarchical classification based on use cases. We then analyze their intersection and build a multidimensional view of the state of technology. With this analytical tool, we describe an observed skew of the distribution of systems and identify gaps for future research. We also describe a link between the novel hierarchical use case classification and the typical phases of nursing care from admission to recovery.

“…Besides support for diagnosis, wearable and hand-held assistance systems support PwD in structuring tasks [17], in communication [18], navigation [19] and social integration [20] or in training motor skills [21] and encourage physical activity [22]. The category of autonomous assistance systems includes intelligent mobility trainers [23], interactive puppets [18,24], service robots [25], and humanoid robots on wheels such as Pepper (Alde-baran/Softbank) or on two-legs such as Asimo (Honda) and T-HR3 (Toyota). A systematic overview of technical systems for people with cognitive impairments is given by [26], in which they review 91 studies showing that such systems have been used to effectively support cognitive functions related to attention, calculation, emotion, memory, experience of self, as well as higher level cognitive functions like planning and time management.…”

I-CARE is a hand-held activation system that allows professional and informal caregivers to cognitively and socially activate people with dementia in joint activation sessions without special training or expertise. I-CARE consists of an easy-to-use tablet application that presents activation content and a server-based backend system that securely manages the contents and events of activation sessions. It tracks various sources of explicit and implicit feedback from user interactions and different sensors to estimate which content is successful in activating individual users. Over the course of use, I-CARE’s recommendation system learns about the individual needs and resources of its users and automatically personalizes the activation content. In addition, information about past sessions can be retrieved such that activations seamlessly build on previous sessions while eligible stakeholders are informed about the current state of care and daily form of their protegees. In addition, caregivers can connect with supervisors and professionals through the I-CARE remote calling feature, to get activation sessions tracked in real time via audio and video support. In this way, I-CARE provides technical support for a decentralized and spontaneous formation of ad hoc activation groups and fosters tight engagement of the social network and caring community. By these means, I-CARE promotes new care infrastructures in the community and the neighborhood as well as relieves professional and informal caregivers.
