This study presents insights from a co-design process involving  \n4 people living with dementia (PLwD), 6 caregivers, and 2 healthcare professionals to develop a social robot designed to facilitate relaxation and deep-breathing exercises. The research employed a co-design framework, integrating PLwD as active participants in design workshops, prototype evaluations, and reflection meetings. Qualitative data were collected through structured discussions, observation notes, and participant feedback. The iterative design process allowed for continuous refinement of the robot’s features, focusing on tactile engagement, intuitive interactions, and non-verbal communication. Findings highlight the importance of structured workshop discussions, the use of visual aids, and the creation of an inclusive environment to facilitate participation by PLwD. Participants reported that the robot provided a calming experience and demonstrated potential for use in care settings. However, some PLwD expressed hesitation in sharing opinions when caregivers were present, suggesting the need for separate workshops to foster uninhibited feedback. This study provides a model for integrating intended users into the design  \nInnovation in Aging, 2025, Vol. 9, No. S2 961  \nprocess, offering insights for researchers developing assistive technologies in dementia care.","cbCaierolRyy3iHS","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaierolRyy3iHS","pdf",62051,"English","# Abstract\n## Co-design participants and roles\n## Robot purpose and design framework\n## Data collection and iterative refinement\n## Key findings and care implications","[{\"question\":\"Who participated in the co-design process?\",\"answer\":\"The study included four people living with dementia, six caregivers, and two healthcare professionals who worked together in design workshops and evaluations.\"},{\"question\":\"What was the CALM robot designed to do?\",\"answer\":\"It was designed to facilitate relaxation and deep-breathing exercises through social, non-verbal interaction and tactile engagement.\"},{\"question\":\"What factors helped participants engage during workshops?\",\"answer\":\"Structured workshop discussions, the use of visual aids, and an inclusive environment supported participation by people living with dementia.\"}]","ENHANCING RELAXATION THROUGH CO-DESIGN WITH PEOPLE LIVING WITH DEMENTIA - THE CALM ROBOT | PDF",1790646352]
