Evaluating a Social Robot Reception Service in an Italian Geriatric Hospital (HOSPER Study): Protocol for a Usability Study
The HOSPER study aims to assess the feasibility of an innovative robot-mediated reception service in a geriatric hospital, with specific focus on recruitment feasibility, completion rates, user acceptability, and perceived service quality. In fact, the usability and user experience evaluation will demonstrate the feasibility of the approach and provide indications for future developments and improvements.
