European project Mario is looking at how care service robots can serves as a companion to those Dementia. The project is led by the School of Nursing and Midwifery at NUI Galway. MARIO addresses the difficult challenges of loneliness, isolation and dementia in older persons through innovative and multi-faceted inventions delivered by service robots.
