Problem Statement:
Society is currently faced with an ageing population. By around 2040, it is expected that one-quarter of the population will be aged 65 years or older. Compared to today, the size of this group of people will have increased by about 1.2 million people by 2040, all while the number of people working (in the age group 20 to 64 years old) will stay roughly the same. [1] This means a large shortage of healthcare workers will arise, causing some elderly to not receive all care they might be expecting. One important aspect of this care that might easily be overlooked are ways to combat their loneliness. This is often prevalent among the elderly, especially those aged 75 years or older. [2] One possible way to battle loneliness is to provide activities. However, with the reduced availability of care, it will become harder for healthcare workers to provide these activities. In these circumstances, robots can be used to support the workers.
