ClinConnect Summary
The HOSPER trial is exploring whether social robots, named Pepper and NAO, can enhance the experience of visitors at the IRCCS INRCA hospital in Ancona, Italy. The goal is to see if these robots can help people find their way around the hospital more easily by providing directions and assistance at the entrance. This study is currently looking for participants who are mentally capable of understanding the process and can give their consent in writing.
If you or a family member are interested in participating, you should know that the trial is open to individuals aged 18 and older. Participants can expect to interact with the robots in the hospital setting, helping researchers understand how effective these robots are in improving visitor services. Your involvement could play a key role in shaping the future of hospital reception services!
