East Sussex County Council, GB conducts RoboPets pilot for residents with early-stage dementia
East Sussex County Council, GB RoboPets Pilot Dementia
In Progress
The one-year pilot delivered 50 robotic dogs or cats to residents working with the county's Occupational Therapy team. RoboPets provide companionship for dementia patients as they experience worsening symptoms. The realistic companions also act as conversation starters between residents, carers, and loved ones. A successful rollout led East Sussex County Council to recruit 50 more participants in need of RoboPets.
