Abstract

This paper presents an analysis on the role of affective expressions in the health care environment and particularly in the care of older adults, and proposes a computational model of affect for ECAs bases on Roseman’s emotion theory and adapted to the elderly care context. Further, this manuscript also describes how these expressions can be conveyed during spoken interaction.

Keywords: affective avatars health care emotion models
