Introducing new technologies like virtual reality (VR) and social robots in long-term care (LTC) brings both opportunities and challenges. While these tools can enhance engagement, emotional support, and well-being, they also raise ethical and practical concerns such as access, staff training, and resident acceptance. This presentation shares useful insights and discuss practical tips from real-world examples on how technology can be used effectively and responsibly into everyday care.
