Happy2Eat | This Participatory Action Research (PAR) project explores practical strategies to improve the dining experience of LTC residents with dementia. As data was generated through conversations with residents, families, staff, and leaders, the telepresence robots were used to visit the site and have in situ discussions with LTC residents |
Overcoming Loneliness | This project focused on learning more about residents’ experiences of loneliness in LTC homes as impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and developing strategies to overcome challenges. Data was collected through one-on-one interviews with residents using telepresence robots for private conversations in their rooms |
WhatMatters | WhatMatters is a digital care plan mobile app developed in collaboration with the stakeholders in co-design workshops. The telepresence robots were used in the workshops virtually as part of the design process |
