NRI: Robot-Assisted Longitudinal Physical and Cognitive Exercise Interventions for Older Veterans
Sponsor: Oregon State University
Summary
In this protocol, the researchers will shift from the past short-term methods to a longer-term deployment and study of a robotic system in a skilled nursing facility setting. The research team will use a repeated baseline-intervention period to understand changes brought on by the robot, specifically. The robot will be deployed in the partnering SNF ambiently (i.e., in a public setting where all residents can elect to use it on demand). Additionally, the researchers will make bi-weekly visits to check in and observe participants performing the intervention activity. The research team will share findings using academic conferences and journals.

Interventions
Exercise with Assistive Robot
During the single arm of this study, participants will experience active control experiences with an onscreen version of an assistive robot (similar to the standard of care), as well as experimental experiences with an in-person version of the robot (a novel intervention). The robot is the system that has been designed by our research team based on previous design cycles with the Oregon Veterans' Home.
