It concludes that while pet robots can have emotional, social, behavioural, and practical benefits, there are several technological, organizational and contextual challenges and limitations that constrain their routine use. The possible findings synthesized could be of benefit to robot designers by identifying the technical adjustments needed, to facility managers and policy makers by understanding the organizational factors influencing implementation and developing realistic action plans and to other healthcare professionals by appreciating the benefits of introducing pet robots as a therapy in long\u2010term care settings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The website committee has chosen the following article as publication of the month January: Scerri, A,\u00a0\u00a0Sammut, R,\u00a0\u00a0Scerri, C.\u00a0\u00a0Formal caregivers\u2019 perceptions and experiences of using pet robots for persons living with [&hellip;] ","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6822,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,328],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/interdem.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7519"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/interdem.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/interdem.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/interdem.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/interdem.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=7519"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/interdem.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7519\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7521,"href":"https:\/\/interdem.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7519\/revisions\/7521"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/interdem.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/6822"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/interdem.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=7519"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/interdem.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=7519"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/interdem.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=7519"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
