Robotic assistive system in practical use
Adoption of mobile assistive systems ensures better custodial care during night for people with neurodegenerative diseases in a clinical environment.
On the one hand is this system capable to monitor restful sleep and on the other hand it is able to fulfil a patrolling function allowing to encounter people experiencing an irregular daily behaviour through modern human-machine interaction (speech recognition and speech synthesis) and in the best case to guide them back to their room. If an emergency is detected while performing such as tasks, an alarm is triggered on the smartphone of nursing staff.
Specifically for caregiving, specialists are often distracted from their nursing tasks due to logistic and monitoring duties. While there is a lack of such staff and due to an estimated increase of the number of people in need of care, this implies a reduction of human presence in caregiving. Systems providing technical support can reduce the stress in this type of work and positively influence the quality of caregiving (project Care4All, 2017-2019).
In addition to reduction of distress from staff are assistive robots able to introduce novel concepts for therapy. Objective observations are included in the medical system’s protocol during such therapies as well as when performing night watch. The attending doctor is supported, also for a longer period, in diagnosing the progress of some disease and when adjusting the concept for therapy. Trail-visitors will meet a robotic assistive system in practical use at a nursing home well as at a robotic lab in Dresden.
