It also examines the growing role of social robots in both home and care environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The book brings together insights on how these technologies are designed, tested, and applied in practice, offering a comprehensive perspective on current progress and future directions. Developed within the Marie Sk\u0142odowska-Curie DISTINCT (Dementia: Intersectoral Strategies for Training and Innovation Network for Current Technology)programme, it highlights important advances shaping dementia care, research, and policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Book information:<\/strong> Anna Felding, S., Laureen Bartels, S., Meiland, F., &amp; Charlesworth, G.
