Abstract

There is an urgent need for efficient solutions that can promote healthy aging, with quality of life and well-being. Technological solutions might be strong allies in the promotion of active aging, to allow for the older adult to adapt and fulfill daily living activities at home. When applying technology to healthcare, particularly in the older population, socially assistive robots are found to be an important emerging research topic, being promising in preventing diseases related to aging and frailty, contributing to healthy aging. Human-centered design appears as a methodology to involve the user in the development process. Unfortunately, in the revision we made, only in few robots’ development, the authors reported the involvement of end users in the process.
