Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
This emotional robot, Paro, is equipped with a dozen sensors, 3 microphones and interacts with its user: it reacts to touch, voice and heat making small sounds and moves its head, fins and tail. The algorithm that governs Paro's behavior allows him to offer a behavioral answer adapted to the user's stimuli. Thus, Paro is able to communicate beneficial emotions to patients.
To this day however there is no published study exploring the effect of such a robot on team dynamics among caregivers in hospital units.
Our research aims at highlighting the benefits that a healthcare team perceives when working with this tool among patients suffering from dementia.
