Spring
Brief Summary:
The SPRING project intends to develop a social assistance robot called ARI capable of interacting with several users patients families in noisy and busy hospital environments to inform guide and entertain them and to support care workers in these environments The AP-HP researchers participating in the SPRING project wish to evaluate human-robot interactions in a day care hospital and in particular the acceptability and the uses of the robot
Detailed Description:
Elderly people suffering from neurocognitive disorders require multimodal support social medical associative in which Socially Assistive Robots SARs could intervene in order to improve the physical and psychological well-being of elderly people and maintain their quality of life SARs are social entities capable of interacting with their users in a variety of contexts informational recreational educational These robots also offer promising possibilities for accompanying care workers in their support of people with neurodegenerative diseases However up to date these robots are not sufficiently sophisticated to engage in satisfactory social interactions with human beings and lead to their adoption
The SPRING study is a non-interventional study that does not include objectives for improving health or patient care It is an exploratory study targeting five use cases with a social robot and three populations of care hospital users patients informal or family caregivers and professionals No follow-up of the participants is necessary
The main objective of SPRING is to study the acceptability of socially assistive robots among three actors in a hospital service patients informal or family caregivers and professionals The secondary objectives are to study a the usability of the ARI robot among day care hospitals users which is necessary to understand the efficiency of using the robot in this context b the organisational impact of the robot on the operation of the service among day care hospitals professionals c the ethical questions generated by the presence of the robot with the participants that will allow us to extend our understanding of the determinants of the rejection or adoption of new technologies in the hospital context
During this non-interventional and exploratory research the ARI robot will be tested in the waiting room of a day care hospital in a geriatric hospital regarding five use cases 1welcoming patients and family members to the hospital 2 providing a reminder how to follow sanitary gestures for the prevention of virus transmission 3providing patients an assistance to prepare for the medical consultation that will follow during the day 4 providing orientation and guidance in relation to the location hospital and the services available toilets cafeteria elevators etc and 5Providing entertainment to patients and families during the waiting time
Patients and their family caregivers meet the robot only once They answer questionnaires and participate in semi-structured interviews after interacting with the robot Evaluations target the acceptability usability and ethical issues raised by the presence of a robotic agent in support of care teams
The professionals included in the study meet the robot several times according to their professional obligations hospital practitioners are not present every day at the day care hospital and can choose when to interact with the robot They will be invited to participate in two focus groups one before the introduction of the robot and the other one at the end of the study At the end of the study the investigators will offer them to fill in questionnaires and participate in semi-structured interviews The evaluations proposed to the professionals deal with questions of acceptability usability organisational impact of the robots presence and ethical issues related to its presence in the day care hospital
