Background: Mental Care for the Elderly “Koekake” in Japanese:
Conversational techniques for • Supporting mental health • Exercising the memory • Delaying or preventing the onset of dementia Recognized as important by care experts, but often neglected in practice… Copyright (C) 2013 ATR, Kyoto, JAPAN All rights reserved.
Proposal Overview
Develop
remote conversation support technology
enabling teleworkers with caregiving expertise to provide mental care for elderly patients in care facilities using telepresence robots.
Objectives: 1. Reduce the burden on caregivers 2. Support care recipients (e.g. interaction support, monitor to prevent wandering) 3. Create employment opportunities for the elderly (tele-work) Copyright (C) 2013 ATR, Kyoto, JAPAN All rights reserved.

Telepresence robots for Telework
Significance to Industry Usable by experts who know the space
•
Challenging for amateurs
– Cannot locate people – Difficult to follow etiquette (social rules)
Technology Development
• New system - easy to use as video conferencing • Telepresence robots are an active sector for startup companies, showing rapid growth 。 Ex.

Merits of Japan-Europe Collaboration
• • Complementary focus : In Europe: technology focused on elderly people
living alone
or receiving in-home care. In Japan: focus on
group care facilities
such as nursing homes .
• • • Collaboration: DTI, ECHORD++, AALIANCE2, etc. Coordination between projects Effective support of care givers / receivers in home / group care facilities Import technology to European society • Sharing unique facilities : Early adopters in Denmark have established an experimental elderly care center (CareLab).
• Can conduct experiments in a real care environment •
Not easily possible
in Japan.

Application of Research Results
•
Use in Society
– Creation of service models through Japan-EU collaboration, extending beyond elderly care – Active seniors able to perform telework in their respective fields •
Personnel training
– Development of education courses for nursing with telepresence robots, training of service providers Copyright (C) 2013 ATR, Kyoto, JAPAN All rights reserved.
Conclusion
In pursuit of these three objectives: 1.
Reducing workload of care workers 2.
3.
Supporting care receivers (conversation support, monitoring of wandering) Supporting employment for elderly people We propose to implement a “Global TeleCare Prototype System" enabling effortless 24-hour telecare through Japan-Europe collaboration enabled by the development of a Japan-Europe care expertise database and new telepresence robots.
