Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study aims to investigate the adoption of robots and explore the causes that promote the adoption and implementation of robots in nursing homes. The results of this study indicate that monitoring systems are the most commonly adopted in nursing homes. Furthermore, the results indicate that the installation cost, maintenance difficulty, and concern about how to operate the robots could be barriers to adoption. To promote the adoption of robots, increasing financial aid, simplifying subsidy procedures, providing maintenance support, delivering information and advice, and introducing case studies would benefit nursing homes. In addition, bottom-up proposals for implementation by managers and employees, understanding of the installation process by senior executives, informing all staff members of the reasons for introduction, and learning and sharing knowledge on how to use the system are believed to be essential for encouraging the implementation of robots.
