Robotic Pet Therapy: A New Approach to Reducing Caregiver Burden
A short summary of the project needs to go here.
NIH-Funded Research on Early Alzheimer's Detection
Our research team is submitting a grant proposal to explore the impact of robotic pet therapy on reducing stress and burden for caregivers of individuals with Alzheimer's disease. This innovative project investigates how lifelike robotic pets can offer companionship and emotional support to patients and their caregivers.
Through a pragmatic clinical trial, we hope to study the effectiveness of robotic pets in real-world caregiving environments. By better understanding their potential, we aim to develop accessible tools that could significantly improve the quality of life for caregivers and their loved ones in the future.
