First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study gave robotic pets (like the Joy for All™ cat or dog) to 106 older adults with mild-to-moderate dementia during their hospital stay. The goal was to see if the pets could lower delirium risk, reduce falls, and cut down on strong medications. Researchers compared these patients to others receiving standard care, measuring things like confusion, blood pressure, and how long they stayed in the hospital.
