JAPAN. Tokyo. October 31st, 2022. « Silver Wing » elderly home.
User plays with a pet Robot “Paro”
« Silver Wing » hosts and cares around 80 elderly people. A care robot was introduced in 2013 in the facility to interact and entertain.
The users interact with the robot two or three times a month. About 30 minutes at a time.
Creating a playful environment. There have been cases where people who enter institutions at an advanced age have examination-style disabilities, but regain a sense of time and calmness through contact with the robot. Practically, people are healed by the robot and it also contributes to reducing the manpower shortage in the facilities.
