Investigating the impact of an AI-based play activities intervention on the quality of life of school-aged children with ADHD.
Research in developmental disabilities
Oct 15, 2024
BACKGROUND: Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a prevalent neurodevelopmental disorder that not only impacts children's behavior, learning, and social interactions but also their quality of life. Advances in artificial intelligence (A...
GoBot Go! Using a Custom Assistive Robot to Promote Physical Activity in Children.
IEEE journal of translational engineering in health and medicine
Aug 20, 2024
Children worldwide are becoming increasingly inactive, leading to significant wellness challenges. Initial findings from our research team indicate that robots could potentially provide a more effective approach (compared to other age-appropriate toy...
Robot-based play-drama intervention may improve the narrative abilities of Chinese-speaking preschoolers with autism spectrum disorder.
Research in developmental disabilities
Oct 24, 2019
BACKGROUND: Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have deficits in their narrative skills and gestural communication. Very few intervention studies have been conducted with the aim of improving these skills.
Does Cognitive Impairment and Agitation in Dementia Influence Intervention Effectiveness? Findings From a Cluster-Randomized-Controlled Trial With the Therapeutic Robot, PARO.
Journal of the American Medical Directors Association
Apr 13, 2018
OBJECTIVES: To explore whether severity of cognitive impairment and agitation of older people with dementia predict outcomes in engagement, mood states, and agitation after a 10-week intervention with the robotic seal, PARO.
The Cost-Effectiveness of Using PARO, a Therapeutic Robotic Seal, to Reduce Agitation and Medication Use in Dementia: Findings from a Cluster-Randomized Controlled Trial.
Journal of the American Medical Directors Association
Jan 9, 2018
OBJECTIVES: To examine the within-trial costs and cost-effectiveness of using PARO, compared with a plush toy and usual care, for reducing agitation and medication use in people with dementia in long-term care.
Using a therapeutic companion robot for dementia symptoms in long-term care: reflections from a cluster-RCT.
Aging & mental health
Dec 28, 2017
OBJECTIVES: We undertook a cluster-randomised controlled trial exploring the effect of a therapeutic companion robot (PARO) compared to a look-alike plush toy and usual care on dementia symptoms of long-term care residents. Complementing the reported...
Use of a Robotic Seal as a Therapeutic Tool to Improve Dementia Symptoms: A Cluster-Randomized Controlled Trial.
Journal of the American Medical Directors Association
Aug 2, 2017
OBJECTIVES: To test the effects of individual, nonfacilitated sessions with PARO (version 9), when compared against a look-alike plush toy and usual care, on the emotional and behavioral symptoms of dementia for people living in long-term care facili...
Feasibility study of a randomised controlled trial to investigate the effectiveness of using a humanoid robot to improve the social skills of children with autism spectrum disorder (Kaspar RCT): a study protocol.
BMJ open
Jun 22, 2017
INTRODUCTION: Interventions using robot-assisted therapy may be beneficial for the social skills development of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD); however, randomised controlled trials (RCTs) are lacking. The present research aims to asses...
Exploring types of play in an adapted robotics program for children with disabilities.
Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
Mar 28, 2017
PURPOSE: Play is an important occupation in a child's development. Children with disabilities often have fewer opportunities to engage in meaningful play than typically developing children. The purpose of this study was to explore the types of play (...
Care staff perceptions of a social robot called Paro and a look-alike Plush Toy: a descriptive qualitative approach.
Aging & mental health
Dec 14, 2016
OBJECTIVES: Social robots such as Paro, a therapeutic companion robot, have recently been introduced into dementia care as a means to reduce behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia. The purpose of this study was to explore care staff perce...
