Meet Zora & Mario: Robots that help caregivers to care better
In the children’s ward, Estelle (3 years old) was very difficult to apply medication to a facial wound…but when Zora asked her to do it, it was OK. Instead, Riccardo (5 years old) had a long-term visit requirement and his family was nervous about the separation. Providing some information before hand, Riccardo’s favorite activities were programmed on his badge with a QR code. Upon Riccardo’s arrival, Zora said “Hello Riccardo, I’ve been waiting for you. I also like Spider Man. Would you like to play a game?” – Riccardo already had a friend.
Instead, at an elderly care community the evening hours could get long. Zora to the rescue playing Bingo, singing songs and dancing. Zora was also a hit demonstrating the physical exercises – and that allowed the staff to be with the patients instead of in front of them demonstrating.
Join us and come see what Zora can do.
Zora is one part of our ambition to carry forward our work in the H2020 project “Mario” financed by the European Commission which is dedicated to the development of companion robots for persons living with dementia.
