What do individuals with visual impairment need and want from a dialogue-based digital assistant?

Clinical & experimental optometry
CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Optometrists are well-placed to provide helpful advice and guidance to patients with visual impairment but may not know how best to do this. The availability of a reliable and comprehensive conversational agent to which patient...

[A survey study towards the opinions of clinicians, patients and care partners regarding computer tools in the memory clinic: sense or nonsense?].

Tijdschrift voor gerontologie en geriatrie
INTRODUCTION: Computer tools based on artificial intelligence could aid clinicians in memory clinics by supporting diagnostic decision-making and communicating diagnosis and prognosis. We aimed to identify preferences of end-users, and barriers and f...

Comparison of the Physical Care Burden on Formal Caregivers between Manual Human Care Using a Paper Diaper and Robot-Aided Care in Excretion Care.

International journal of environmental research and public health
Although the older population has been rapidly growing, the availability of formal caregivers remains limited. Assistance provided by care robots has helped lower this burden; however, whether using a care robot while providing excretion care (EC) is...

Social Values of Care Robots.

International journal of environmental research and public health
Care robots have the potential to address the challenge of aging societies, such as labor shortages or the aging workforce. While previous studies have focused mainly on the productivity or workability of care robots, there has been an increasing nee...
