Exploring the role of human-following robots in supporting the mobility and wellbeing of older people.

Scientific reports
With the ever-pressing challenges of societal ageing, robotic technologies for older people are increasingly portrayed as a solution for better independent living for longer. However, the application of human-following robots for elderly citizens has...

Characterizing fall risk factors in Belgian older adults through machine learning: a data-driven approach.

BMC public health
BACKGROUND: Falls are a major problem associated with ageing. Yet, fall-risk classification models identifying older adults at risk are lacking. Current screening tools show limited predictive validity to differentiate between a low- and high-risk of...

Eliciting a User's Preferences by the Self-Disclosure of Socially Assistive Robots in Local Households of Older Adults to Facilitate Verbal Human-Robot Interaction.

International journal of environmental research and public health
To realize a society in which older adults can live independently in their homes and familiar environments for as long as possible, their lives can be supported by providing appropriate technology. In this case, a new intervention for older people us...

Real-world Implementation of an eHealth System Based on Artificial Intelligence Designed to Predict and Reduce Emergency Department Visits by Older Adults: Pragmatic Trial.

Journal of medical Internet research
BACKGROUND: Frail older people use emergency services extensively, and digital systems that monitor health remotely could be useful in reducing these visits by earlier detection of worsening health conditions.

Smart home technology to support older people's quality of life: A longitudinal pilot study.

International journal of older people nursing
AIM: This pilot study aimed to explore the impact of Smart Home technology to support older people's quality of life, particularly for those who live alone.

Robots in Eldercare: How Does a Real-World Interaction with the Machine Influence the Perceptions of Older People?

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
(1) Background: Using autonomous social robots in selected areas of care for community-dwelling older adults is one of the promising approaches to address the problem of the widening care gap. We posed the question of whether a possibility to interac...

An Interpretable Machine Learning Approach to Predict Fall Risk Among Community-Dwelling Older Adults: a Three-Year Longitudinal Study.

Journal of general internal medicine
BACKGROUND: Adverse health effects resulting from falls are a major public health concern. Although studies have identified risk factors for falls, none have examined long-term prediction of fall risk. Furthermore, recent evidence suggests that there...

5G-enabled contactless multi-user presence and activity detection for independent assisted living.

Scientific reports
Wireless sensing is the state-of-the-art technique for next generation health activity monitoring. Smart homes and healthcare centres have a demand for multi-subject health activity monitoring to cater for future requirements. 5G-sensing coupled with...

The Humanoid Robot Sil-Bot in a Cognitive Training Program for Community-Dwelling Elderly People with Mild Cognitive Impairment during the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

International journal of environmental research and public health
BACKGROUND: Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a stage preceding dementia, and early intervention is critical. This study investigated whether multi-domain cognitive training programs, especially robot-assisted training, conducted 12 times, twice a w...
