Robotics in Dementia Patient Care

Let me tell you a joke: do you go to bed every night because the bed bug comes, which is a good pepper? I like it, so people are living longer, they realize and, as they live longer, they are realizing that many of these people are. affected with

dementia

and lived written in people with

dementia

is exponential around the world what we would like to do is with the provision of

care

and we would like to have to mention read a lot of

care

24/7 care and it is impossible with humans Being present with someone who has dementia 24/7, so what we would like to do is use robots to provide care, so we are not going to replace care providers , but we would like to increase care by helping with

robotics

when someone is newly diagnosed with dementia, which is the MCI stage, my cognitive decline, we would send that person home with pepper and pepper would follow them and live with them and at that stage Your activities of daily living are still intact, so you know what you usually do, you know you can get up in the morning, take a shower, go for a run, come back, have breakfast, read the news, and go to work for Pepper to follow. and learn their activities of daily living and, as they progress in dementia, and this, to perform their activities of daily living as they can forget. take a shower or they may forget to have breakfast, the pepper will remind them and help them in those activities of daily living, for example, if the person prepared omelette for breakfast every morning and forgets how to make omelette, the pepper will offer the lens of the recipe and the person forgot to go for a run, Pepper could say: Hey, you know you haven't exercised, but today you'd like to do it now.

Do you want me to remind you how to exercise? How to maintain your quality of life. So delay. there, but going into assisted living care, facial recognition could help recognize a couple of people that at some point the user, who is our dementia

patient

, might not be able to recognize. We can also avoid social isolation of the

patient

by giving him some type of pepper. of conversation with them like, ah, they see the car moving, it's theirs, they realize that there are many beautiful paths to obtain a psychology like that, so it's good to be working on something that uses technology for good and that can help people.

I guess it's very rewarding to work on a project like this as an engineer. I think in terms of knowing well how can I make this app work, it's more than that, you know we're working with human beings and we have to understand. This ethos is related there, so we have emphasis on working with us while she looks like an alien, it seems like she is very careful, so obviously when you join a show you are not really sure what will be next after late. after you finish graduating, but like my experience over time with research here, it really encouraged me to continue with the line of research that drives me to help people with dementia use technology to help them less to maintain their quality of life. life if not improve your quality of life
