Dementia Clinical Trial
Official title:
Experience With a Socially Assistive Robot for Home Care and Its Acceptance by People With Dementia, Caregivers and Dementia Trainers. A Mixed-method Intervention Study
Background:
Dementia rates are increasing worldwide and consequently burden global healthcare resources
to a serious degree. However, there is a declining number of caregivers to provide care. It
is for this reason that many new technologies, such as socially assistive robots, have been
developed because of their potential to support caregivers in promoting the independence of
people with dementia. Most of the (socially assistive) robots have so far been tested for
people without dementia in mainly laboratory or institutional settings, like nursing homes.
Consequently, there is a lack of knowledge about the possible uses of robots from the
perspective of those affected by dementia in real-life/care situations (e.g. at home).
Testing in a laboratory setting cannot capture the complexity and high variability of
everyday situations occurring during the care of persons with dementia.
Methods
The design is a mixed method intervention study of a refined socially assistive humanoid
robot. In total, three people with dementia, three relatives, three dementia trainers and
three professional caregivers were included in the study. Quantitative data of technology
acceptance were collected using the "Technology Usage Inventory". Qualitative data (main
focus: experiences with the robot and handling the robot) were collected by means of
observation and qualitative interviews. Movement data of people with dementia were collected
by means of the eye camera of the robot.
This study helps to further refine and test a socially assistive robot for people with
dementia living at home.
