Abstract

Purpose: Assistive technology for elderly are advancing, and this study aimed to analyse the Indian perspective on utilising assistive robot technology for aiding elderly individuals.

Materials and methods: A population-based survey was undertaken to collect data from three perspectives: Relatives of the elderly, Healthcare professionals and Elderly individuals. The survey gathered 389 responses. The responses are statistically analysed, and data is visualised with different plots for better understanding.

Results: It is observed that the older people rate with less conviction on the use of technology when compared to the relatives and healthcare professionals. Out of the three target groups, the elderly individuals had the most correlating attributes to purchasing the robot. Also, healthcare personnel, relatives, and older people gave 82%, 63% and 55% affirmatives to the question on purchasing the robot, respectively. And the cost of the robot is preferred to be under 6 lakh rupees.

Conclusions: Though the younger generation has more orientation towards technology, older people are skeptical about handling computer gadgets or robots. However, there are significant expectations and concerns expressed by three target groups such as conversational, navigational, reminder features, security and malfunction concerns.

印度老年人辅助机器人前景分析。

目的：老年人辅助技术正在不断发展，本研究旨在分析印度人对利用辅助机器人技术帮助老年人的看法：材料和方法：开展了一项基于人口的调查，从三个角度收集数据：材料：我们开展了一项基于人群的调查，从三个角度收集数据：老年人亲属、医疗保健专业人员和老年人个人。调查收集了 389 份回复。对这些答复进行了统计分析，并通过不同的图表将数据可视化，以便更好地理解数据：结果显示，与亲属和医疗保健专业人员相比，老年人对使用技术的信心较低。在三个目标群体中，老年人购买机器人的相关性最高。此外，对于购买机器人的问题，医护人员、亲属和老年人的肯定率分别为 82%、63% 和 55%。而机器人的价格最好在 60 万卢比以下：虽然年轻一代对技术有更多的了解，但老年人对操作电脑小工具或机器人持怀疑态度。然而，三个目标群体都表达了重要的期望和担忧，如对话、导航、提醒功能、安全和故障担忧。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
