| Abstract(in English) | The world's population is aging. In Japan, it is a social problem that the shortage of nursing care workers and nursing care facilities. Therefore, we focus on the support by technology. Our research group is developing PC-Mei, a system that supports and monitors the daily lives of in-home elderly using a spoken dialogue agent. However, we have not yet examined the impact of this system on the elderly and their families. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of PC-Mei on the elderly and their families, and to evaluate the system. As an approach, we conduct a demonstration experiment of PC-Mei with in-home elderly and their families. The participants are six elderly people in their 60s to 90s who lived alone and the period is about two weeks. We install the system in their rooms. Then, we evaluate the system based on the dialogue logs with the agent and the results of questionnaires. The results show that PC-Mei has a positive impact on both the elderly and their families. On the other hand, it was found that mis-recognition of voice and unnatural dialogues may cause other stresses and burdens. In this way, improving the speech recognition function and the chatting function is promising. |
