Alleviating Isolation: How Telepresence Robots Can Help Seniors Stay Connected

May 12, 2023

How can telepresence robots help elderly people?

Telepresence robots can alleviate the effects of isolation by fostering safe social ties, which is especially important in elderly care settings due to visitor limitations and social isolation

While video conferencing can help seniors maintain social relationships, some seniors may find it difficult to hold a smartphone, enable some video conferencing apps, or even hear and respond to a simple phone ring. These physical factors then make communication with and monitoring the health and safety of loved ones who live far away or even across town difficult.

Telepresence robots, on the other hand, are simpler to use and ideal for seniors because they remain hands-free.

With telepresence technology, seniors can stay more connected to their loved ones than ever before.
