Robotic pets calm dementia patients, reduce hospital distress
NCT ID NCT06683443
Summary
This study tested whether giving robotic companion pets to hospitalized patients with dementia could improve their hospital stay. Researchers gave 106 patients aged 65+ a robotic pet to keep during their stay and compared them to patients receiving standard care. They measured if the pets helped reduce confusion (delirium), agitation, the need for strong sedative medications, falls, and length of hospital stay.
