Summary

This study tested a telepresence robot called COVEALINK 2 that allows patients hospitalized for at least 2 months to remotely control a robot in their own home. Using a smartphone app, patients could move the robot around and talk with family and friends. The goal was to see how acceptable and emotionally helpful this technology is for people with motor or cognitive disabilities.
