Dementia Screening System based on SNS Agency Robot

Abstract

We have developed the SNS Agency Robot that can be used for interactive communication between the elderly and the young via existing social media. We developed the Dementia Screening System by adding an AI conversation diagnosis method to the SNS Agency Robot. The feature of this system is that we could replace medical doctor's examination of dementia with the Robot. The results of the examination by this Robot will be reported to people around the elderly by SNS using the original function of the SNS Agency Robot. We conducted evaluation experiments of this system with patients of Nagasaki University Hospital. As the result, we confirmed a strong correlation between the results by medical doctors and by the Robot.
