Abstract

COVID-19 increased the use of technology in everyday life and highlighted critical applications for assistive technologies. This comparative research study explores how assistive technologies, including socially assistive robots, can be adopted by long-term care homes to mitigate the lasting effects of the pandemic. In particular, we investigated the types of assistive technologies used by long-term care facilities to help with the care of older residents and for what tasks. Furthermore, we identified barriers to adoption and proposed policy measures that encourage technology adoption.
