| Annotation | The PARO robotic seal can improve the well-being of people with dementia, but is it safe to use on hospital wards? Kathy Martyne and colleagues carried out research and found that it passed hygiene tests. Carlene Rowson and her collaborators claim that infection control concerns have not been adequately answered. In this debate, the two argue the case for and against PARO on hospital wards. (RH). |
