“…In addition, studies with PARO (an robotic baby harp seal), which is used as a therapeutic device, indicate that interaction with the robotic seal has positive effects on quality of life, feelings of pleasure, and contributes to overall well-being [6,10]. Other results show that the participants feel less lonely and depressed if PARO is used at the care facility where they reside [30,53]. Robots can efficiently be used as motivational coaches, such as helping people to stay on a diet [32].…”

The current paper addresses the implications of doing research on socially assistive robots in real homes. In contrast to laboratory studies, studies of robots in their intended natural environments can provide insights into people's experiences of robots, and if and how a robot becomes embedded and used in people's everyday life. However, moving robots out of the lab and into real life environments poses several challenges. Laboratory methods mainly focus on cause-and-effect relations between independent and dependent variables, while researchers who are conducting studies in real homes have much less control. In home trials, researchers need to decide what kind of data is obtainable and available. In real homes, researchers face unique challenges that require unique and pragmatic approaches. Any single study conducted in a real home is likely to have methodological limitations. Therefore, several different studies using different robots and methods are needed before the results can be converged in order to reach conclusions that are convincingly supported. This paper is an effort to provide such a report on a specific empirical case and converging findings from other studies. The goal is to provide an account of the research challenges and opportunities encountered when introducing a robot into its intended practice: the homes of older people. The aim is to give enough details for other

“…The researchers concluded that these non-pharmacological interventions had a positive effect on BPSD [28]. Activity in a group with a robotic animal showed three months after intervention a significant reduction in the symptoms of agitation and depression in people with dementia [29]. Also, a study by Vink et al [15] showed that group activities such as cooking, handwork and puzzles gave a short-lived reduction in agitation in people with dementia.…”

The objective of this integrated literature review was to identify and examine effectiveness of non-pharmacological interventions towards BPSD. Database searches were documented following the PRISMA flow diagram and included papers were judged by the researchers using the SAHTAASS protocol. Coding of the papers was carried out using Polit and Beck matrix for literature review. It was concluded that several non-pharmacological interventions showed a positive influence on BPSD such as stimulating interventions, social and personalized activities and physical exercise. Also, education/training of healthcare professionals and equipment in form of a structured BPSD protocol resulted in decreased BPSD.

“…More information about the derived algorithms is detailed in the next section. The profile information that was deemed important during the workshop to take into consideration, was modeled as an extension of the Ambient-aware Continuous Care Ontology (ACCIO) 5 . ACCIO is a modular ontology, consisting of 7 core high-level ontologies modeling information prevalent to offering contextaware and personalized healthcare services, namely the Upper, Sensor, Context, Profile, Role & Competence, Medical and Task continuous care core ontologies.…”

Abstract. The increasing number of People with Dementia (PwD) increases the strain and burden on caregivers in nursing homes. When PwD exhibit behavioral disturbances, they need personalized interventions of the nursing staff, however, the staff only has limited time to spend on these interventions. Within this paper, an Internet of Robotic Things platform and an accompanying robotic intervention strategy are presented that enable the nursing staff to rely on robots to assist them during these personalized interventions.
