Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The goal is to engage residents in a natural language conversation as psychosocial support (enhancing mood, mitigating the effects of loneliness, and enhancing social connection and communication) and provide value to the organization and its staff.
Research questions include:
1. Are existing and new residents engaged and satisfied with the Technology Intervention Program?
2. What are the benefits (health, behavioral, economic, and social) of the virtual agent and physical robot?
3. Which users will adopt the SAR system?
4. What are facilitators and barriers to SAR system adoption?
5. Does Technology Acceptance Theory explain adoption over time?
6. Do changing needs affect changing technology attitude?
7. What are guidelines for implementation and design?
Sample: 270 individuals will participate: 90 residents, 90 family, and 90 staff across different study locations. Enrollment will be stopped upon reaching saturation.
1. Participants in both conditions will have access to personal media, reminders, televisit, messaging, news, and wellness programs in their own room via the Companion.
2. Participants in the SAR condition will have access to social and health reminders as well as social and wellness programs facilitated by a virtual robot agent in their own room via the Companion.
3. Participants in the SAR condition will also have access to social and health reminders as well as social and wellness programs facilitated by a physical robot in the community area and a staff member (likely the activity director).
The goal is to offer SAR-facilitated group session at least once per week, for residents to attend at least one such session over the course of the study and two sessions/month.
