  • Robot and video game

    Robot-guided video game gets older adults out of comfort zone, learning and working together

    Two senior living residents sat facing a large screen, controlling a video game with wrist devices. Every so often, a squat little robot near them would remind them of the object of the game: Get your avatar’s books into the right bin, and earn extra points by helping the other player. The game isn't about robots or books. It’s about getting seniors in the early stages of dementia out of their rooms, moving their bodies and, most important, working together. Isolation is a contributor to dementia’s progression, and this robot-guided video game may be an effective, low-cost solution for caregivers. Vanderbilt University’s Nilanjan Sarkar, a mechanical engineering professor, Linda Beuscher, an assistant professor in the School of Nursing, and their team recently finished testing the game in two nursing homes.

"One of my patients told me that I reminded her of her son. We just had a good interaction in the room there," Kohlmeier, an FNP, said. "She asked if she could give me a hug at the end. It was a small victory within me, I feel like that's one of those signs you've reached out to that patient, that you've built that connection and can start going from there." Read More
