Social robot support for spouses at risk of frailty
This study tests whether a social robot that you can use with a smartphone or tablet can help reduce frailty (weakness and loss of energy) in people who are caring for their spouse. You will be grouped by your risk level and may receive a personalized robot-based program to support your health and daily life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
