The effectiveness of various robotic technologies in assisting older adults

Abstract: There is concern about the expanding size of the ageing population and burgeoning care costs for older adults. Robotic technology could assist older adults. In this study, the effectiveness of the robotic technologies is evaluated. A systematic literature review was undertaken of peer-reviewed literature. An initial set of 8533 studies was evaluated for relevance; these were reduced to a final subset of 58 studies finally subjected to analysis. This study categorised the problems encountered by older adults, i… Show more

“…Telepresence robots could be a viable mode of delivery of lifestyle and chronic illness management interventions for older adults living independently in the community. A recent systematic review of 58 studies categorized problems experienced by the aging population, then described the types of robots that have been used to address these problems (Shishehgar, Kerr, & Blake, ). Problems included social isolation, dependent living, physical or cognitive impairments, mobility problems, poor health monitoring, lack of recreation, need for medication or appointment reminders, and falls.…”

“…And robots become more challenging when used as supportive tools for the elderly because their control and manipulation can be quite complicated for an older adult. Assistant robots might be used for help with physical tasks, with observation, for security alerts, or as companions (Shishehgar et al, 2017;Smarr et al, 2014;Wang et al, 2017). Fridin (2014) has proposed an assistive robot (KindSAR) for kindergarten children, aimed at assisting preschool children with learning and play, through the social interaction between robot the and the child (Fridin, 2014).…”
