The primary objective of this study is to verify the acceptability of the GUARDIAN system by the elderly, detected through the scale Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT). The GUARDIAN platform consists of two connected apps: one dedicated to the caregiver and one dedicated to the older people, plus a robot (Misty II). Misty II will live with the elderly, it will have the task of detecting his presence inside the house, reminding him of appointments, assisting him in his daily activities and diminishing the sense of loneliness. The application dedicated to the caregiver receives the data and self reports of the elderly from the robot, in order to constantly offer an updated picture of the condition of the elderly and to keep them informed about their condition and well-being.

Primary | Change in the acceptability of the GUARDIAN platform | Acceptability will be assessed using a 32-item questionnaire based on the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) model. It's a standardized instrument for measuring the likelihood of success for new technology introductions and helps to understand the drivers of its acceptance.
The questionnaire has 32 questions distributed in 4 key constructs: 1) performance expectancy, 2) effort expectancy, 3) social influence, and 4) facilitating conditions. Each question are based on a Likert-type 5-point scale ranging from 1 = strongly disagree to 5 = strongly agree. Increments are integers between 1 to 5. |

Secondary | Care load of the informal caregiver | Zarit Burden Interview (Chattat R. et al. 2011) | change from baseline to 1, 2 and 3 months after intervention commencement | |
Secondary | Caregiver's Stress and Anxiety | The General Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) is used to measure the severity of anxiety. Score is calculated by assigning scores of 0, 1, 2, and 3, to the response categories of 'not at all', 'several days', 'more than half the days', and 'nearly every day', respectively, and adding together the scores for the seven questions.
Scores of 5, 10, and 15 are taken as the cut-off points for mild, moderate and severe anxiety, respectively. When used as a screening tool, further evaluation is recommended when the score is 10 or greater. |

Secondary | Quality of life of the elderly | The Euro QoL 5D-5L quality of life scale is a survey of perceived quality of life that consists of 5 domains: Mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression; each domain is evaluated with an inverse Likert scale of 5 points where 1 indicates the absence of a problem and 5 the most extreme problem. It also consists of a subscale that evaluates the level of global health through a visual analog scale of 100 points. A unique health state is defined by combining 1 level from each of the 5 dimensions, this combination can be converted into a single index value by facilitating the calculation of quality-adjusted life years (QALYs). | change from baseline to 1,2 and 3 months after intervention commencement | |
Secondary | Elderly person's perception of their health | SF-12 Health Survey (SF-12) is composed of 12 items that produce two measurements related to two different aspects of health: physical health and mental health | change from baseline to 1, 2 and 3 months after intervention commencement |
