Aspects of Providing Robotic Healthcare Services for the Elderly based on HRI-enabled Applications in a Healthcare Community Center

Published: 04 November 2021 Publication History

Abstract

As wearable devices have been developed in small sizes that are easy for users to wear, it is important that these applications should be integrated in a comprehensive way for the management of healthcare services. Recent analysis procedures also can provide meaningful results with datasets that are generated from the devices, and these improvements have become common considerations for most people who are familiar with these devices. In order to serve healthcare applications using the data sources or the wearable devices, especially for the elderly, it is crucial to deploy them by considering not only the wearable device functionalities, but also accidents and follow-up actions when emergency situations could happen to them. In this paper, we present aspects of providing robotic healthcare services to the elderly, including protocols that we have applied for the elderly while they put devices on and interact with other types of healthcare applications. We also discuss issues of building up robot appearance, composing services, and protocols for emergency situations that considerably become intimately acquainted with intelligent service robots
