PARO Therapeutic Robot has been found to improve relaxation and reduce stress. Thank you to Amb. @AkioMiyajima and Prof. Takanori Shibata @AIST_EN for gifting PAROs to Spilno Hubs in Poland, in an effort to support refugee children in improving their mental health.

Fascinating to see how tech is used in 🇯🇵 to improve elderly care, including for those with #Dementia, and to reduce pressure on staff. Tokyo's Silver Wing care home does this with bed sensors, mobility aids, interactive entertainment & robotics including these therapeutic pets.

This adorable robot made elderly patients need fewer sedatives b/c the patients were reminded of their childhoods and less anxious. So precious 😭🥺 @ParoRobot in Singapore

Social distancing helps protect the elderly from #COVID19 but leaves them feeling profoundly lonely. See how Takanori Shibata's @ParoRobot and other social robots can provide comfort therapy to those in isolation. bit.ly/2A46hXv
