Use of a Social Assistance Robot in a Population of Children Subjected to Prolonged Isolation

NCT06405620 | Not Yet Recruiting

• 1 other identifier: RC31/23/0168
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 33

• Sites: N/A

Brief Summary

During the period of isolation of the hospitalized child, contacts between the child and his family are impaired. Being away from home as well as from the social and family circle can be harmful for the hospitalized child. It seems necessary to measure the impact of the use of such an assistance robot both on the user himself and his family. Thus, it seems relevant to scientifically validate the benefit of using such an assistance robot to break iatrogenic social isolation and to measure the impact of this use.
