Dementia and other related diseases causing symptoms of mild cognitive impairment are being increasingly diagnosed. These diseases are placing a significant strain on the healthcare system. Robotic technology research has also been increasing, specifically in the field of healthcare and assisted living. This scoping review explores the research at the intersection of dementia and robotic devices. More specifically, this paper looks at how robots can be used in dementia care to gain a deeper understanding of the potential benefits this technology may have on patient and caregiver lives. This research was conducted using PRISMA guidelines. Data were extracted from 13 articles. The researchers found that there is a lack of evidence regarding how robotics can assist patients living with dementia; however, robotic devices can be used by patients to perform some daily tasks in the home.
痴呆症和其他导致轻度认知障碍症状的相关疾病的诊断率正在不断上升。这些疾病给医疗系统带来了巨大的压力。机器人技术研究也在不断增加，特别是在医疗保健和辅助生活领域。本范围综述探讨了痴呆症和机器人设备交叉领域的研究。更具体地说，本文探讨了机器人如何用于痴呆症护理，以更深入地了解这项技术可能对患者和护理人员生活产生的潜在益处。这项研究是按照 PRISMA 指南进行的。从 13 篇文章中提取了数据。研究人员发现，关于机器人如何帮助患有痴呆症的患者的证据不足；然而，机器人设备可以被患者用于在家中执行一些日常任务。
