Design and implementation framework of social assistive robotics for people with dementia-a scoping review
Abstrakt
Nowadays, longevity studies have become a distinguished multidisciplinary field merging with cutting-edge computer science technologies to outline innovative ideas to cater to the needs of seniors. Since the global geriatric population is anticipated to rise, the number of people seeking to obtain caregiving services and wishing to be more actively engaged in life will be more apparent.
Therefore, seniors aspiring day-to-day special care in home settings, interested in improving their living standards can likewise benefit from an amiable companion. A comprehensive search strategy was developed and selected databases were looked through with relevant keywords.
This scoping review qualitatively examines the literature on the use of companion robots, including both pet-like and humanoid robots, and Internet-of-Things (IoT) security, coupled with the new 5G technology for the home-based elder care. From 355 full-text articles that were found, 90 articles were selected to be investigated respectively.
In order to ascertain their operation in the future, we discuss remaining challenges, unused opportunities, security risks and suggested remedies and suggest a dementia-centred concept and an implementation framework.
