Socially Assistive Robot Hyodol for Depressive Symptoms of Community-Dwelling Older Adults in Medically Underserved Areas: A Preliminary Study
Overview
This preliminary study evaluates Hyodol, a socially assistive robot designed with a grandchild persona, for its impact on depressive symptoms among older adults in medically underserved areas. The research involved 278 participants who used the robot over six months, assessing outcomes related to depression, loneliness, medication adherence, and user acceptance. Results indicated significant reductions in depressive symptoms and improvements in loneliness and adherence, with higher engagement correlating to greater symptom improvement.
