Implementation and Evaluation of Home-based Dialogue System for Cognitive Training of Older Adults

Published: 30 December 2021 Publication History

Abstract

In a super-aged society, dementia is a severe problem in which older adults suffer from symptoms to maintain daily life. A wide variety of systems have been developed for older adults; however, to our knowledge, few of them encourage communication aiming at the training of cognitive functions. This paper reports the results of home-based experiments using a novel dialogue system. Our proposed system has consisting of subsystem such as an experiment scheduling system, mobile application for older adults, dialogue supportive system, and robots. We explain how subsystems communicate with each other, data format to be designed to follow the experimental situation remotely easily. Besides, we describe how to select communication protocols to avoid system errors. Through the experiment, we identify the characteristics of users’ statements and gaps in the duration of users’ utterances. We also address the current system’s issues and clarify improvements to our strategy for further experiments.
