我们专注于确定患有阿尔茨海默病和早期痴呆症的人与机器人助手有关的要求和需求。基于在两个中心（波兰和西班牙）进行的焦点小组，我们为医务人员，患者和护理人员创建了调查，包括：功能要求;人机交互，机器人助手的设计和用户接受方面。使用Likert量表和基于调查答复频率的分析，我们将用户的需求确定为高、中、低优先级。我们收集了264份已完成的调查（100份来自医务人员，81份来自护理人员，83份来自潜在用户）。大多数受访者（三组中几乎处于同一水平）接受机器人助手及其在日常生活中的支持。高优先级功能需求与紧急情况下的反应（呼叫帮助，检测/消除障碍物）以及提醒药物摄入，开水，关闭煤气和电灯（近60%的答案）有关。在人机交互方面，优先考虑语音操作系统和机器人助手回答简单问题的能力。我们的研究结果有助于更好地了解认知障碍患者在日常生活中的家庭任务的需求。这种进行研究的方式，考虑到两个自主中心的三个利益相关者群体的利益，在我们的患者群体的需求方面具有成熟的经验，突出了所获得的结果的重要性。
We focused on identifying the requirements and needs of people suffering from Alzheimer disease and early dementia stages with relation to robotic assistants. Based on focus groups performed in two centers (Poland and Spain), we created surveys for medical staff, patients, and caregivers, including: functional requirements; human–robot interaction, the design of the robotic assistant and user acceptance aspects. Using Likert scale and analysis made on the basis of the frequency of survey responses, we identified users’ needs as high, medium, and low priority. We gathered 264 completed surveys (100 from medical staff, 81 from caregivers, and 83 from potential users). Most of the respondents, almost at the same level in each of the three groups, accept robotic assistants and their support in everyday life. High level priority functional requirements were related to reacting in emergency situations (calling for help, detecting/removing obstacles) and to reminding about medication intake, about boiling water, turning off the gas and lights (almost 60% of answers). With reference to human–robot interaction, high priority was given to voice operated system and the capability of robotic assistants to reply to simple questions. Our results help in achieving better understanding of the needs of patients with cognitive impairments during home tasks in everyday life. This way of conducting the research, with considerations for the interests of three stakeholder groups in two autonomic centers with proven experience regarding the needs of our patient groups, highlights the importance of obtained results.
