Abstract
Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) is a powerful tool to have a complete and exhaustive knowledge of patients’ cognitive and physical health. The use of technology to conduct CGA would: (i) reduce the time spent by clinicians; (ii) increase the objectiveness and the transparency of the results. In this paper, we present the architecture of the ASSESSTRONIC platform, which aims to develop a robotic platform able to autonomously carry out and assist the caregivers during the CGA process. Two main aspects have been treated: the interaction for the cognitive tests and the mobility of the platform for the physical tests. Preliminary results of usability evaluation and reliability of cognitive and physical tests are given.
