Working on the proofs of a new article today. Will be out soon in Science and Engineering Ethics.

We conducted a review of non-comparative studies on the use of socially assistive devices like #CareRobots and companions in elderly care. We found that while users had positive reactions, they also struggled with technical complexity and limited functionality. This adds to debates on reliability of empirical evidence, devices' social presence, and autonomy. #digitalHealth #MedicalEthics #ethics
