Active ageing project with the IBV

Bumerania participates in the Impuls project generated by the Institute of Biomechanics of Valencia.
The general objectives of the project are :
To promote the adaptation, improvement, implementation and development of innovative solutions based on technology, mainly from small and medium-sized companies in the Valencian
technology, mainly from small and medium-sized enterprises in the Valencian Community,
aimed at care services for the elderly, through their use in a real context.
– To analyse the impact of actions based on the implementation of innovative solutions supported by
technology in individual, social and community well-being during longevity. These actions are carried out
through the development of 4 pilots in 4 municipalities, 2 in an urban environment and 2 in a rural environment.

In general, the rating of a social robot such as Temi for older people may depend on several factors, such as ease of use, perceived usefulness, social interaction, security and privacy. Here are some aspects that might influence the rating:

1. Ease of use: Robots intended for older people should be intuitive and easy to use. The interface and controls should be accessible, even to those unfamiliar with the technology.
2. Perceived usefulness: The robot should offer functions and features that are useful to older people, such as medication reminders, video calls, entertainment and assistance in performing daily tasks.
3. Social interaction: The robot’s ability to interact in a socially and emotionally intelligent way can be crucial. The ability to recognise and respond to emotions, as well as the ability to have meaningful conversations, may be an important factor in the acceptance of these robots.
4. Security and privacy: Security and privacy are critical concerns, especially when it comes to connected devices in the home. It is important that manufacturers implement robust measures to protect personal information and ensure user security.
5. Updates and support: Good technical support and regular software updates are essential to ensure that the robot remains up-to-date and continues to be useful over time.
