居住在长期护理（LTC）环境中的老年人通常会经历冷漠，这是一种神经精神疾病，具有发病率和死亡率增加的不良后果。结合联合收割机社会，身体和认知刺激的活动是最有效的参与老年人与冷漠，但耗时，需要大量的人力资源。我们提出了我们的社会辅助机器人（SAR）系统，Ro-Tri，能够多模式干预，以促进老年人之间的社会互动的初步试点现场研究的结果。七名配对的参与者每周参加两次会议，为期三周。会议由机器人介导的三重互动组成，三种类型的活动在3周内重复一次。Ro-Tri收集定量互动数据，头部姿势，声音和生理信号，以自动评估老年人的活动和社会参与。Ro-Tri运行顺利，没有任何技术问题。老年人有> 90%的出勤率和100%的完成率，并在整个研究期间保持与系统的互动。参与者对SAR系统和他们的合作伙伴的视觉注意力分别增加了7.2%和4.7%，他们的互动努力增加了2.9%。老年人和LTC工作人员对该系统有积极的看法。这些初步结果表明，Ro-Tri有能力吸引老年人，鼓励社会人际互动，并使用定量指标评估变化。未来的研究将确定SAR对LTC老年人冷漠的影响。
Older adults residing in long term care (LTC) settings commonly experience apathy, a neuropsychiatric condition with adverse consequences of increased morbidity and mortality. Activities that combine social, physical and cognitive stimuli are most effective in engaging older adults with apathy but are time consuming and require significant staff resources. We present the results from an initial pilot field study of our socially assistive robotic (SAR) system, Ro-Tri, capable of multi-modal interventions to foster social interaction between pairs of older adults. Seven paired participants attended two sessions a week for three weeks. Sessions consisted of robot-mediated triadic interactions with three types of activities repeated once over the 3 weeks. Ro-Tri gathered quantitative interaction data, head pose, vocal sound, and physiological signals to automatically evaluate older adults’ activity and social engagement. Ro-Tri functioned smoothly without any technical issues. Older adults had > 90% attendance and 100% completion rate and remained engaged with the system throughout the study duration. Participants’ visual attention toward the SAR system and their partners increased 7.2% and 4.7%, respectively, with their interaction effort showing an increase of 2.9%. Older adults and LTC staff had positive perceptions with the system. These initial results demonstrate Ro-Tri’s ability to engage older adults, encourage social human-to-human interaction, and assess the changes using quantitative metrics. Future studies will determine SAR’s impact on apathy in LTC older adults.
