UBC Nursing Study Aims to Find out if Social Robots can be Used in Elder Care
Meet Kiwi and Mango, social robots from Japan. They may look like a cuddly cross between Teletubbies and WALL-E, but what lies beneath is advanced technology. AI enables them to learn, speak, recognize faces and voices, move around and even offer hugs, emulating the warmth of a real pet.
Kiwi and Mango are 'Lovots' on loan to UBC for a new study exploring interactions between social robots and older adults. Dr. Lillian Hung (she/her), lead researcher, Canada Research Chair in Senior Care and assistant professor in UBC School of Nursing, explains how the study was conceived and what it could mean for elder care.
Also featured in this video are: Mario Gregario, Patient Partner (UBC IDEA Lab), and Sally Carmichael, Amica Resident.

    I remember reading 20 years ago That 1 of the cannabinoids in cannabis had narrow pathic regenerative properties , What if the technology could be developed using laser Tweezers , Like how they position proteins to sequence geans, It would have to be some type of autonomous system Miron phase array laser with imaging at that level , Possibly one day performed in a 0 gravity environment With the patient and the chemical indused coma , I remember reading that during sky lab in the 1970s One of the doctors on board Not being a physicist Did a Superman across the station And flailed his arm very badly , And the time it took them to figure out if they were going to send another rocket up to get him Four days I believe , The injury was Completely healed with no scar , I don't know how this would apply to spinal Cord cells , just some thoughts

    My god this is exactly the type of treatment I’ve been wishing for! Far too many SCI studies or aids want to focus on allowing paralyzed people to “walk” again and while that would be great, my biggest want would be to restore any feeling particularly in the bladder/bowel area

    This is important to walk again since the act of walking is seen, what about the pain, why no one study for the same, nobody can see the pain and thats why no much care for it. A billions of spinal cord injuries or spinal cord tumors patients are suffering daily pain arround the world silently and no serial treatment yet. Hope you include them in your study. Thank you.
