Abstract

Staying at home due to the COVID-19 epidemic may raise the risk of frailty and cognitive decline in older adults. Once older adults with frailty and/or cognitive decline are infected, it is difficult for them to return from hospitals home or to elderly care facilities, leading to pressure on medical facilities. We are developing a remote communication and dialogue support system for maintaining the cognitive and physical health of older adults.
