Optimizing Gerontechnology for Asian Eldercare.

Social robots demonstrate potential for enhancing elderly care; however, there is a dearth of comprehension regarding their acceptance and real-world impact within Asian cultures. This two-phase study aimed to optimize social robots for dementia care in the high-density Hong Kong setting. The study furnishes evidence that social robots constitute a viable avenue for amplifying engagement and care in Asian dementia contexts contingent on cultural alignment.
