TLDR
In this article, the authors analyzed the use of conversational agents and the main types of personalization used during interacting with the elderly and found that these solutions may have a positive impact on elderly's life.Abstract:
Social isolation and loneliness are problems faced by the elderly that might be aggravated due to quarantine during the coronavirus pandemic. This motivates a search demand for automatic technological solutions, such as chatbots, to address the problem, and establish a collaborative interaction between elderly and conversational agents. We analyze the use of conversational agents and the main types of personalization used during interacting with the elderly. We mapped 53 papers in 5 sources to answer 5 research questions that guided our study. Our findings show these solutions may have a positive impact on elderly's life.read more

A sociable robot to encourage social interaction among the elderly
TL;DR: Evidence that although current models for introduction of robotic companions stress individual encounters, a social community alternative is promising is presented, finding that even where individual encounters are significant, sensitivity to social dimensions improve the benefits of these encounters.
