The article discusses the use of robotic care interventions in the management of dementia. Dementia is a global public health issue that significantly impacts the lives of individuals, their families, and society. Non-pharmacological therapies, such as robotic care interventions, have been recommended as a first-line treatment for dementia. A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials found that robotic care interventions may be effective in reducing agitation, anxiety, depression, improving cognitive function, sleep quality, and overall quality of life for individuals with dementia. The article also highlights the need for further research to determine the optimal type of robots for different populations and the importance of designing patient-centered robot therapy programs.
