By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News – New research on Neurodegenerative Dise ases and Conditions - Dementia is the subject of a report. According to news rep orting from Brisbane, Australia, by NewsRx journalists, research stated, “To exp lore the feasibility of deploying robot-led activities for people with dementia living in aged care facilities. Embedded mixed-methods design. Eleven residents ( 65 years) with mild to moderate cognitive impairment were recruited from 2 age d care facilities in Brisbane, Australia.” The news correspondents obtained a quote from the research from Griffith Univers ity, “We implemented a novel control logic, ‘Adam Program,’ for a human-like rob ot to provide proactive robot activities for people with dementia. Participants individually participated in a nonfacilitated robot intervention thrice a week f or 5 weeks from November to December 2022. We video-recorded each intervention s ession and quantified participants’ visual, behavioral, and verbal engagement. A semi-structured interview was conducted at the end of the 5-week intervention. The treatment fidelity strategies and finances were reported and evaluated. The Bowen feasibility framework guided data analysis into 6 focus areas: acceptabili ty, demand, implementation, efficacy, integration, and practicality. Based on pa rticipants’ perceptions, findings demonstrated adequate acceptability and demand for robot-led activities. Findings reported a high level of visual engagement ( 98.54%) and an increased trend of behavior engagement over 5 weeks. Participants independently communicated with Adam, with most (97.02% ) verbal engagements free of human facilitation. The treatment fidelity strategi es regarding the activity delivery, intervention received, and intervention skil ls are provided alongside the equipment expenses, revealing the feasibility of i ntegrating robot-led activities for people with dementia in aged care facilities . Using human-like robots to independently lead interactive activities for peopl e with dementia at aged care facilities is feasible and acceptable. Although rob ot-led activities require further improvement, this study explored a practical-d riven solution that provided guidelines for developing and implementing robot-le d activities in aged care settings. Future studies could replicate similar robot -led activities for further investigation and evaluation.”
