What Was (Also) at Stake When a Robot Bathtub Was Implemented in a Danish Elder Center: A Constructivist Secondary Qualitative Analysis.

Qualitative health research
Assistive technologies are often considered to be passive tools implemented in targeted processes. Our previous study of the implementation of the robot bathtub in a Danish elder center suggested that purposeful rationality was not the only issue at ...

Does Robotic Telerounding Enhance Nurse-Physician Collaboration Satisfaction About Care Decisions?

Telemedicine journal and e-health : the official journal of the American Telemedicine Association
BACKGROUND: Delivering healthcare using remote robotic telepresence is an evolving practice in medical and surgical intensive critical care units and will likely have varied implications for work practices and working relationships in intensive care ...

Utilizing Telemedicine in the Trauma Intensive Care Unit: Does It Impact Teamwork?

Telemedicine journal and e-health : the official journal of the American Telemedicine Association
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to examine the impact of a telemedical robot on trauma intensive care unit (TICU) clinician teamwork (i.e., team attitudes, behaviors, and cognitions) during patient rounds.

Bio-inspired group modeling and analysis for intruder detection in mobile sensor/robotic networks.

IEEE transactions on cybernetics
Although previous bio-inspired models have concentrated on invertebrates (such as ants), mammals such as primates with higher cognitive function are valuable for modeling the increasingly complex problems in engineering. Understanding primates' socia...

The first step in using a robot in brain injury rehabilitation: patients' and health-care professionals' perspective.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
PURPOSE: To evaluate the usability of a mobile telepresence robot (MTR) in a hospital training apartment (HTA). The MTR was manoeuvred remotely and was used for communication when assessing independent living skills, and for security monitoring of co...

Robot-assisted therapy for improving social interactions and activity participation among institutionalized older adults: a pilot study.

Asia-Pacific psychiatry : official journal of the Pacific Rim College of Psychiatrists
INTRODUCTION: Animal-assisted therapy is gaining popularity as part of therapeutic activities for older adults in many long-term care facilities. However, concerns about dog bites, allergic responses to pets, disease, and insufficient available resou...

Designing for designers: insights into the knowledge users of inclusive design.

Applied ergonomics
Over the last twenty years, research on inclusive design has delivered a wealth of publications and initiatives, forming an emerging knowledge base for inclusive design. The inclusive design knowledge base breaks down into two discrete areas - unders...

ABCD: A Simulation Method for Accelerating Conversational Agents With Applications in Aphasia Therapy.

Journal of speech, language, and hearing research : JSLHR
PURPOSE: Development of aphasia therapies is limited by clinician shortages, patient recruitment challenges, and funding constraints. To address these barriers, we introduce (ABCD), a novel method for simulating goal-driven natural spoken dialogues ...

Feature-Tuning Hierarchical Transformer via token communication and sample aggregation constraint for object re-identification.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
Recently, transformer-based methods have shown remarkable success in object re-identification. However, most works directly embed off-the-shelf transformer backbones for feature extraction. These methods treat all patch tokens equally, ignoring the d...

The benefits and dangers of anthropomorphic conversational agents.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
A growing body of research suggests that the recent generation of large language model (LLMs) excel, and in many cases outpace humans, at writing persuasively and empathetically, at inferring user traits from text, and at mimicking human-like convers...
