Review of Using Socially Assistive Robots to Maintain Treatment Regimens for Elderly Patients.
The proposed research aims to conduct a comprehensive review of the effectiveness and feasibility of using socially assistive robots (SARs) to maintain treatment regimens for elderly patients. With the increasing prevalence of chronic illnesses among the elderly population, adherence to treatment regimens poses a significant challenge. SARs offer a promising solution by providing reminders, medication management, and personalized support to ensure patients adhere to their prescribed treatments. This review will systematically analyze existing literature, including studies, clinical trials, and technological advancements, to evaluate the impact of SARs on treatment regimen adherence, patient outcomes, and user acceptance.
