Description

<p>We investigated whether the humanoid robot, Pepper, could help patients in taking hepatitis virus tests at an oral dental clinic. Ninety-five patients interacted with Pepper, followed by visiting the physician and answering a questionnaire. One asymptomatic patient was diagnosed as HBs-Ag positive. Most patients who operated Pepper were female and older than 50 years of age. Only a few patients (16%) knew a hepatitis subsidy system. Results of the questionnaire revealed that Pepper's promotion was beneficial and useful for understanding the severity of hepatitis. These findings suggest that the application of a humanoid robot may encourage hepatitis examinations in an oral dental clinic.</p>
