Abstract
The world's age is increasing. Yet, as the number of older adults who require physical and cognitive assistance grows, healthcare resources are unable to meet the demand, inducing high care provider turnover and burnout rates, and degrading the quality and availability of care. Care robots could help alleviate the burden on care providers, as they can support care providers with physical and cognitive assistance, such as physically demanding or repetitive house chores and medicine dispensing.
Where prior workshops on care robotics have focused on either specific technologies or domains for aging in place, in our workshop, we propose to investigate how to best model and leverage the different stakeholders in the network of care of the older adult (family, friends, nurses, the care robot, etc.) in order to meet evolving needs and preferences of the older adult. As such, the goal of this workshop is to identify key research thrusts that will enable care robots to (1) identify and meet the cognitive and physical needs of an older adult as these needs change over time and (2) coordinate the network of care of the older adult in order to successfully facilitate aging in place.
The organizers are affiliated with the AI Institute for Collaborative Assistance and Responsive Interaction for Networked Groups (AI-CARING), whose focus is supporting older adults and their network of care. The findings of the workshop will inform further discussions on how researchers at AI-CARING can successfully improve the quality of life of aging adults living at home.
