AIMS: Pilot studies applying a humanoid robot (NAO), a pet robot (PARO) and a
real animal (DOG) in therapy sessions of patients with dementia in a nursing home
and a day care center. METHODS: In the nursing home, patients were assigned by
living units, based on dementia severity, to one of the three parallel
therapeutic arms to compare: CONTROL, PARO and NAO (Phase 1) and CONTROL, PARO,
and DOG (Phase 2). In the day care center, all patients received therapy with NAO
(Phase 1) and PARO (Phase 2). Therapy sessions were held 2 days per week during 3
months. Evaluation, at baseline and follow-up, was carried out by blind raters
using: the Global Deterioration Scale (GDS), the Severe Mini Mental State
Examination (sMMSE), the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE), the
Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI), the Apathy Scale for Institutionalized Patients
with Dementia Nursing Home version (APADEM-NH), the Apathy Inventory (AI) and the
Quality of Life Scale (QUALID). Statistical analysis included descriptive
statistics and non-parametric tests performed by a blinded investigator. RESULTS:
In the nursing home, 101 patients (Phase 1) and 110 patients (Phase 2) were
included. There were no significant differences at baseline. The relevant changes
at follow-up were: (Phase 1) patients in the robot groups showed an improvement
in apathy; patients in NAO group showed a decline in cognition as measured by the
MMSE scores, but not the sMMSE; the robot groups showed no significant changes
between them; (Phase 2) QUALID scores increased in the PARO group. In the day
care center, 20 patients (Phase 1) and 17 patients (Phase 2) were included. The
main findings were: (Phase 1) improvement in the NPI irritability and the NPI
total score; (Phase 2) no differences were observed at follow-up.
