Summary

This study tested a social robot that leads activities like trivia and reminders for people with Alzheimer's or other dementias living in assisted living. Researchers wanted to see what makes it easy or hard to use the robot in daily care. 26 residents, family members, and staff took part. The goal was to learn how to best bring this technology into senior homes.
