“…The majority reported positive results on patients’ quality of life, including reduced loneliness and isolation [ 18 , 48 , 51 , 59 ] and improvements in mood and anxiety [ 9 , 18 - 20 , 48 , 53 , 56 , 60 , 61 , 66 ] and agitated behaviors [ 9 , 47 , 52 ]. Feelings of comfort or reduced stress following social robot interventions were also described [ 51 , 52 , 66 ], although 1 study including participants with cognitive decline showed changes in the electroencephalogram, which were indicative of increased stress [ 50 ]. In some studies that focused on participants with dementia, SARs appeared to increase social engagement between patients, caregivers, and family members [ 8 , 16 , 18 , 20 , 21 , 47 , 49 , 52 , 53 , 58 ].…”

“…As most of the selected papers included older people with dementia, some particularities of this population must be raised. Some studies reported on participants with an advanced cognitive decline or with language and hearing impairments, which made it difficult to interact with the robot [ 18 - 20 , 50 , 54 , 63 , 66 ]. In addition, the complexity of operating the touchscreen and preprogrammed functions were also highlighted in this population [ 16 , 48 ].…”

Background The use of social robots as innovative therapeutic tools has been increasingly explored in recent years in an effort to address the growing need for alternative intervention modalities in mental health care. Objective The aim of this scoping review was to identify and describe social robot interventions in mental health facilities and to highlight their outcomes as well as the barriers and facilitators to their implementation. Methods A scoping review of the literature published since 2015 was conducted using the Arksey and O’Malley’s framework. The MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and PsycINFO databases were searched, and 2239 papers were retrieved. The papers included were primary empirical studies published in peer-reviewed literature. Eligible studies were set in mental health facilities and they included participants with a known mental health disorder. The methodological quality of the included papers was also assessed using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool. Results A total of 30 papers met the eligibility criteria for this review. Studies involved participants with dementia, cognitive impairment, schizophrenia, depression, autism spectrum disorder, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, and an intellectual disability. The outcomes studied included engagement, social interaction, emotional state, agitation, behavior, and quality of life. Conclusions The methodological weaknesses of the studies conducted this far and the lack of diversity in the conditions studied limit the generalizability of the results. However, despite the presence of certain barriers to their implementation (eg, technical problems, unsuitable environment, staff resistance), social robot interventions generally show positive effects on patients with mental health disorders. Studies of stronger methodological quality are needed to further understand the benefits and the place of social robots in mental health care.

“…We need to empower robots with the ability to become pleasant companions, at least to some extent comprehend the emotions of the elderly, and choose appropriate responses and actions based on their speech, appearance, and behavior. Our research focuses on evaluating the emotional state of the elderly by analyzing the emotions in their speech, especially through text-based speech analysis, as there are now many reliable speech-to-text systems 2 . We use text as input for emotion analysis, which is a very current research field.…”

This paper focuses on the field of emotional interaction, specifically using text data to evaluate expressed emotions. It aims to assess the emotional state of humans in order to determine how robots should adjust their behavior. To detect emotions in text data, various methods and algorithms can be utilized. In this study, the authors combine dictionary methods with machine learning algorithms for emotion detection. However, emotion labels are often vague and subjective, leading to a multi-label problem. To address this, the paper conducts experiments using naive Bayes, support vector machine, and neural network classifiers. Although the accuracy of emotion classification is low, the study demonstrates the importance of specific words in expressing emotions.

“…Even medical experts are commonly asked about possibilities based on IT to help patients monitor their condition and treat it. To that end there are many IT solutions designed for patients including games [3], virtual reality (VR) [4] [5], and personalized service robots [6]. In this research we aimed at formulating what user demands could IT solutions address, and how [1].…”

Information technology (IT) is used to establish diagnosis and provide treatments for people with cognitive decline. The condition affects many before it becomes clear that more permanent changes, like dementia, could be noticed. Those who search for information are exposed to lots of information and different technologies which they need to make sense of and eventually use to help themselves. In this research, we have systematically analyzed the literature and information available on the Internet to systematically present methods used in diagnosing and treatment. We have also developed an artifact to help users obtain information with help of illustrations and text. The final user groups are all those for whom the cognitive decline is of concern. Medical professionals could be interested to direct their patients to use the artifact to gain information and keep learning at their own pace.
