dc.description.abstractWith the natural decline in health, older adults increasingly require various forms of assistance. As the global senior population continues to grow, the demand for professional caregivers rises correspondingly. Throughout history, assistive technologies such as canes, walkers, and hearing aids have played a crucial role in senior care. Among the extensive range of available assistive technologies, robots and virtual assistants are particularly notable for their wide array of applications for both assistants and caregivers. By integrating a social robot with a virtual assistant, an assistive solution can be developed where their functionalities complement each other. This study aimed to create an assistive solution focused on the care of older adults by leveraging the combined functionalities of social robots and virtual assistants. To validate the proposed assistive solution, an experiment was conducted in which potential users simulated care and schedule management scenarios to examine the interaction between older adults and the employed technology. The positive feedback from the experiment indicated that the assistive solution would be both useful and appreciated, not only for care-related activities but also for daily tasks.
