Aims
Enhance the quality of dementia day care by implementing the Temi robot as an assistant, addressing challenges such as daily activity assistance, welcoming clients, and medication reminders.
Background
Temi is an interactive robot programmed to assist dementia clients in therapeutic exercises, cognitive games, and daily routine reminders.
