Robotic pets tested to calm dementia patients in hospitals
NCT ID NCT06683443
Summary
This study tested whether giving robotic companion pets to hospitalized patients with dementia could help them feel calmer and more comfortable. Researchers gave 106 patients aged 65+ a robotic pet to keep during their hospital stay and compared them to patients receiving standard care. They measured whether the pets reduced signs of confusion (delirium), the need for sedative medications, falls, and length of hospital stay.
