NCT ID NCT07102017
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a robot that can be personalized by older adults helps reduce loneliness and depression. 90 people aged 65+ in a care home will either get a personalized robot, a standard robot, or usual care. The goal is to see if a co-designed robot buddy improves well-being more than a one-size-fits-all version.
