(1) Background: Automated dose dispensing (ADD) systems are today used around the world. The ADD robots are placed in patients' homes to increase medication safety as well as medication adherence; however, little is known about how ADD robots affect the patient's day-to-day lives, receiving the daily doses of medicine from a machine rather than from a human healthcare professional. The aim of this study is to review the available literature on users' perceptions of having an ADD robot and collect evidence on how they perceive having less human contact after implementing this technology in their homes. (2) Methods: References were searched for in Embase and PubMed. Literature investigating ADD robots in primary healthcare was included in this study and literature in a hospital setting was excluded. After screening processes, eleven publications were included in this review. (3) Results: The literature reported high medication adherence when using ADD robots and general satisfaction in terms of user experiences with the acceptability and functionality of ADD. (4) Conclusion: The review is the first focusing on user experience and perceptions regarding ADD robots. General satisfaction was shown towards ADD robots as an intervention, but the review indicates that research is missing on healthcare professionals and patient perceptions on how ADD affects their routines, both in relation to work and daily life.
（1）背景：自动剂量分配（ADD）系统如今在全球范围内得到应用。ADD机器人被放置在患者家中，以提高用药安全性和用药依从性；然而，对于ADD机器人如何影响患者的日常生活，即从机器而非人类医护人员那里接收每日剂量的药物，人们知之甚少。本研究的目的是回顾关于用户对拥有ADD机器人的看法的现有文献，并收集证据，以了解他们在家庭中采用这项技术后如何看待与人类接触减少的情况。（2）方法：在Embase和PubMed中检索参考文献。本研究纳入了调查初级医疗保健中ADD机器人的文献，排除了医院环境中的文献。经过筛选过程，本综述纳入了11篇出版物。（3）结果：文献报道使用ADD机器人时用药依从性较高，并且用户对ADD的可接受性和功能方面的体验总体满意。（4）结论：该综述是首次关注用户对ADD机器人的体验和看法。作为一种干预措施，用户对ADD机器人总体满意，但该综述表明，关于医护人员以及患者对ADD如何影响他们在工作和日常生活中的日常事务的看法，研究尚付阙如。
