Abstract

Social robots are more and more coming to be seen as having great potential for long-term care. However, the actual application of social robots in the provision of daily care depends on demonstrated added value of such systems. The availability of a technical system as such is insufficient for achieving added value. Rather, care interventions need to be defined in terms of the goal, target group, environment, and how care staff should act to pursue effective application of a robot system. For the seal robot Paro three such interventions have been developed in collaboration with psychogeriatric care professionals. These interventions also outline the application of Paro in care for a subsequent effectiveness study.
