Summary
This study tests whether a handheld robot that guides meditation with touch and voice can improve sleep quality in older adults with mild memory concerns. 100 participants will either use the robot or a standard meditation app for daily sessions. The goal is to see if the robot helps people stay focused and sleep better than audio alone.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a new, engaging way for older adults to improve sleep and reduce stress without medication.
