Seven visually impaired older adults took part in three consecutive 45-minute sessions combining conversation, music, storytelling and guided movement.
What the pilot recorded
The first day focused on everyday conversation, news, weather and music. Day two added breathing, stretching and simple arm exercises. The final day introduced more advanced movement and a guided conversation about feelings.
In the written report, 85% of participants awarded the arm-exercise experience full marks, while 57% awarded full marks to the overall interaction-satisfaction item. One participant reported completing six exercise sessions with the robot.
This was a small usability and acceptance pilot with seven participants at one residential setting. It was not a clinical efficacy trial, and the results should not be generalized to all older adults.
Full-mark responses reported in the written study
