Exploring the Viability of Socially Assistive Robots for At-Home Cognitive Monitoring
The early detection of mild cognitive impairment, a condition of increasing impact in our aging society, is a challenging task with no established answer. One promising solution is the deployment of robotic systems and ambient assisted living technology in the houses of older adults for monitoring and assistance. In this work, we address and discuss a qualitative analysis on the feasibility and acceptability of a socially assistive robot (SAR) de…
Investigating the effects of Covid-19 lockdown on Italian children and adolescents with and without neurodevelopmental disorders
We conducted a cross-sectional study to compare the impact of social distancing and lifestyle changes that occurred during Corona Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) lockdown on children and adolescents with and without Neurodevelopmental Disorders (NDDs). An online questionnaire was administered in order to investigate the effects of NDD condition, socio-demographic status, familiar/home environment and COVID-19 exposure on their lives during a two mo…
Integrating Social Assistive Robots, IoT, Virtual Communities and Smart Objects to Assist at-Home Independently Living Elders
The integration of Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) frameworks with Socially Assistive Robots (SARs) has proven useful for monitoring and assisting older adults in their own home. However, the difficulties associated with long-term deployments in real-world complex environments are still highly under-explored. In this work, we first present the MoveCare system, an unobtrusive platform that, through the integration of a SAR into an AAL framework, aim…
Technology use characteristics among older adults during the Covid-19 pandemic
Personal computers, tablets, and smartphones may support older adults' engagement when people are required to stay home and opportunities to engage in meaningful activities are reduced during the COVID-19 period. This study aims to screen older adults' technology-use characteristics across social, leisure, and education domains during the COVID-19 pandemic from a crosscultural viewpoint. The sample included 576 participants aged 60 and older from…
