简要总结

The study aims to assess the feasibility and acceptability of supplementing a robot-mediated interactive intervention (RMII) to current home care services in HK for older adults who live alone or with an older spouse at home, and to examine the preliminary efficacy of RMII on reducing loneliness. The objectives of the study are:

  1. To assess the feasibility (recruitment rate, retention rate, intervention adherence, implementation fidelity, and safety) of RMII;
  2. To assess the acceptability (participant satisfaction and usability of the features, cultural acceptance, electricity cost, etc.) of RMII;
  3. To examine the preliminary efficacy of the RMII on loneliness, visuo-motor function, psychological distress, and quality of life among older adults.
