Brief Summary:
The goal of this multiple baseline single case study is to study the costeffectiveness of a social robot in reducing professional caregiver support and promoting independence for individuals in long-term disability care experiencing problems with daily structure and planning The main research questions it aims to answer are
What is the effect of the social robot on the frequency of moments professional caregivers support individuals experiencing problems with daily structure and planning with the execution of daily activities compared to care as usual after 6 weeks
Does the effect of the social robot persist in the long term after 6 months
What is the cost-effectiveness of the social robot
Participants will
Use a social robot in their daily living environment
Answer survey questions about their quality of life and wellbeing during the study period
Share their experiences in interviews
Their profesional caregivers will
Register the frequency and duration of support they provide to the participant daily for 13 weeks and a 2-week follow-up
Give weekly updates and score participants goal attainment while using the social robot
Fill in questionnaires on participants productivity and health care consumption during the study period
Share their experiences in interviews

Detailed Description:
Many individuals receiving long-term disability care experience problems in daily structure and planning This includes people with autism spectrum disorder mild to moderate intellectual disability acquired brain injury andor Down syndrome
A large number of these individuals need assistance in carrying out daily activities due to these difficulties in planning and organisation these difficulties include for example being on time for appointments getting up and going to bed on time self-care forgetting to eat or take medication performing household tasks and remembering information Both professional caregivers and clients invest a significant amount of effort time and enery into structuring and creating an overview in daily planning
The use of a social robot that can be programmed to assist with reminders and guidance offers opportunities for both clients and professional caregivers
The use of the social robot is expected to lead to more independence and improved well-being for the participant
Because the social robot potentially shortens or takes over support moments professional caregivers might for example be deployed more efficiently
Positive effects may also be observed in the relationship between professional caregiver and client when the client functions more independently and their well-being improves professional caregivers expectedly experience more job satisfaction which is important for the quality of care and retention of care staff
The purpose of this study is to research the effectiveness of a social robot in long-term disability care The study follows participants and their professional caregivers in their daily care setting first without the social robot care as usual then while using the social robot This study contributes to knowledge about the effective deployment of technology in long-term disability care
