Summary

This study tests whether using robots at home can reduce apathy—loss of motivation and interest—in people with mild cognitive impairment or dementia. About 75 adults over 40 with apathy will be randomly assigned to interact with a telepresence robot, a social robot, or receive standard occupational therapy. The goal is to see if robotic interactions boost engagement and ease caregiver stress.
