Abstract
People with dementia (PwD) experience behavioral and psychological symptoms, such as anxiety or aggression that can put them, or their caregivers, at risk. In this paper, we describe the results from a case study conducted to assess the viability of using socially assistive robotics (SAR) system to deal with problematic behaviors experienced by PwD. Data was gathered from interviews with specialist and contextual observation of caregiver- PwD interaction. Analysis included interpretation sessions, open coding, and affinity diagramming. Results highlight some of the challenges and opportunities for robot-person interaction to deal with problematic behaviors.
