Trial Completed: Using Social Robots in Children With Rare Diseases and Their Parents: A Feasibility Study (NCT06466109)
Researchers completed a small study with 14 children who have rare diseases and their parents to test whether a social robot could help families cope better. The robot was designed to provide support and improve relationships between parents and children while reducing stress and worry. The study looked at whether families found the robot helpful and acceptable to use in their daily lives.
WHY IT MATTERSThis completed trial demonstrates a novel approach to family-centered support for rare disease patients—social robots may offer accessible emotional and relational support when specialized mental health resources for rare disease families are limited.
