Home-care robots - Attitudes and perceptions among older people, carers and care professionals in Ireland: A questionnaire study.

Health & social care in the community
Many countries face major challenges to ensure that their health and social care systems are ready for the growing numbers of older people (OP). As a way of realising ageing in place, assistive technologies such as home-care robots are expected to pl...

Older adults' experiences and perceptions of living with Bomy, an assistive dailycare robot: a qualitative study.

Assistive technology : the official journal of RESNA
An aging global population and preference for aging-in-place pose the opportunity for home-based robots to assist older adults with their daily routines. However, there is limited research into the experiences of older adults using robots in their ow...

A Risk Prediction Model Based on Machine Learning for Cognitive Impairment Among Chinese Community-Dwelling Elderly People With Normal Cognition: Development and Validation Study.

Journal of medical Internet research
BACKGROUND: Identifying cognitive impairment early enough could support timely intervention that may hinder or delay the trajectory of cognitive impairment, thus increasing the chances for successful cognitive aging.

Are we ready for artificial intelligence health monitoring in elder care?

BMC geriatrics
BACKGROUND: The world is experiencing a dramatic increase in the aging population, challenging the sustainability of traditional care models that have relied on in-person monitoring. This debate article discusses whether artificial intelligence healt...

Home-Based Cognitively Assistive Robots: Maximizing Cognitive Functioning and Maintaining Independence in Older Adults Without Dementia.

Clinical interventions in aging
Promoting health and prolonging independence in the home is a priority for older adults, caregivers, clinicians, and society at large. Rapidly developing robotics technology provides a platform for interventions, with the fields of physically and soc...

Development and validation of a robotic multifactorial fall-risk predictive model: A one-year prospective study in community-dwelling older adults.

PloS one
BACKGROUND: Falls in the elderly are a major public health concern because of their high incidence, the involvement of many risk factors, the considerable post-fall morbidity and mortality, and the health-related and social costs. Given that many fal...

Smart Environments and Social Robots for Age-Friendly Integrated Care Services.

International journal of environmental research and public health
The world is facing major societal challenges because of an aging population that is putting increasing pressure on the sustainability of care. While demand for care and social services is steadily increasing, the supply is constrained by the decreas...

Caregiver perspectives on a smart home-based socially assistive robot for individuals with Alzheimer's disease and related dementia.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
: Innovative assistive technology can address aging-in-place and caregiving needs of individuals with Alzheimer's disease and related dementia (ADRD). The purpose of this study was to beta-test a novel socially assistive robot (SAR) with a cohort of ...

Predicting future onset of depression among community dwelling adults in the Republic of Korea using a machine learning algorithm.

Neuroscience letters
Because depression has high prevalence and cause enduring disability, it is important to predict onset of depression among community dwelling adults. In this study, we aimed to build a machine learning-based predictive model for future onset of depre...
