Robots, the Alzheimer patient, and the GDPR: Policy and privacy considerations for the use of robots in care, treatment, and diagnosis

Several types of robots are currently being designed and introduced to address the needs of dementia patients at various stages of the disease progression. Robots hold the potential to fill some of the gap left by nursing and other staff shortages. In recent years, smaller, lighter, and less expensive robots have entered the market. Moreover, more sophisticated robots that combine functions of “companionship” with other care functions are becoming available. Increasingly, these robots contain sensors that serve a range of monitoring functions that can alert caregivers, neighbors, and clinical staff to phenomenon that may signal the need for attention or follow‐up. Robots that employ AI and thus, through the processing and refining of outputs, are able to “evolve” to better interact with the patient.
