["Puppet accompaniment"-A geragogically based accompaniment approach].

Zeitschrift fur Gerontologie und Geriatrie
BACKGROUND: Home care for older people with dementia (PwD) is associated with special needs and requires appropriate support services as well as learning and developmental impulses from a geragogical perspective. The accompanied use of robotic techno...

Impacts of a Care Robotics Project on Finnish Home Care Workers' Attitudes towards Robots.

International journal of environmental research and public health
Technological advances in elderly care have been rapid, and the introduction of robots in care will be a topical issue in the near future. There has been little research into the possibility of influencing care workers' attitudes towards robots by pr...

Knowledge-Based Decision Support in Healthcare via Near Field Communication.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
The benefits of automatic identification technologies in healthcare have been largely recognized. Nevertheless, unlocking their potential to support the most knowledge-intensive medical tasks requires to go beyond mere item identification. This paper...

Detecting asthma exacerbations using daily home monitoring and machine learning.

The Journal of asthma : official journal of the Association for the Care of Asthma
OBJECTIVE: Acute exacerbations contribute significantly to the morbidity of asthma. Recent studies have shown that early detection and treatment of asthma exacerbations leads to improved outcomes. We aimed to develop a machine learning algorithm to d...

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
With the paradigm shift from hospital-centric healthcare to home-centric healthcare in Healthcare 4.0, healthcare robotics has become one of the fastest growing fields of robotics. The combination of robot capabilities with human intelligence, for ex...

Voice-Controlled Intelligent Personal Assistants to Support Aging in Place.

Journal of the American Geriatrics Society
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Many older adults wish to age in place, and voice-controlled intelligent personal assistants (VIPAs; eg, Amazon Echo and Google Home) potentially could support unmet home needs. No prior studies have researched the real-world u...

BIA: ehavior dentification lgorithm Using Unsupervised Learning Based on Sensor Data for Home Elderly.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
Behavior identification plays an important role in supporting homecare for the elderly living alone. In literature, plenty of algorithms have been designed to identify behaviors of the elderly by learning features or extracting patterns from sensor d...

Providing Aging Adults Social Robots' Companionship in Home-Based Elder Care.

Journal of healthcare engineering
Population aging is increasingly serious. The application of social robots for home-based elder care is an important way to solve this problem. Aging adults' demands for social robots' companionship affect robotic designs. This study aimed to investi...
