The purpose of this study is to develop an artificial intelligence system that does not rely only on the experience of the caregivers who selects useful presentation contents used in the reminiscence method for dementia patients to stabilize mental status and improve cognitive function (Butler R N,1963).
In this study, we improved with an artificial intelligence technique that reproduced the method of content selection that has been performed by the experts of practical reminiscence. We adopted information recommendation as an algorithmic method and worked on creating an information infrastructure for robots to present contents. Furthermore, the information recommendation algorithm selects an appropriate recollection content from our content database, and we have automated the flow in which the robot presents the selected contents.
