Robotic Technology in the Care of Older Persons: A Cross-Sectional National Survey Among Adults in Switzerland
When robots are used in the care of older adults, user adoption is likely to be positive when the end-users (older persons and their caregivers) perceive that their use meaningfully reduces caregiving stress. More research is needed to further test the role of external factors for technology adoption, especially those that touch the notion of human contact.
