Attribute Value
Methodology
  • This study utilized the Qualtrics survey platform to engage 253 older adults in the U.S., who were recruited from CloudResearch's comprehensive participant pool. Our methodology was organized into three key phases: Initially, we identified and selected the relevant features and attributes of healthcare robots. Following this, we designed and conducted a survey based on the Kano model to gather data. The final phase involved an in-depth analysis of the data collected, utilizing the Kano model’s evaluation criteria to extract significant insights.
Description
  • The widespread acceptance of healthcare robot at home is hindered by a lack of clarity regarding optimal design features, particularly among users with varying levels of knowledge and attitudes towards this emerging technology. To address this, this study applies the Kano model to systematically identify and prioritize the features of healthcare robots, factoring in older adults diverse robot-related knowledge and attitudes towards robots.

Research Overview: Healthcare robots at home are increasingly essential for promoting the independence of older adults, yet their widespread acceptance is hindered by a lack of clarity regarding optimal design features, particularly among users with varying levels of knowledge and attitudes towards this emerging technology. To address this, this study applies the Kano model to systematically identify and prioritize the features of healthcare robots, factoring in older adults diverse robot-related knowledge and attitudes towards robots. Following a thorough literature review that highlighted 27 distinct robot features, we conducted a survey with 253 participants and identified essential features such as `Medication Management' and `Managing Illness and Monitoring Health' as one-dimensional features, whereas `Animal-like Appearance' was negatively received. The analysis also showed that user preferences vary significantly with their knowledge and perception of robots. These insights emphasize the need for a user-centric approach in designing healthcare robots to meet the varied expectations of older adults.

Methodology: This dataset originates from a study conducted using the Qualtrics survey platform and involves 253 older adults from the United States. These participants were sourced from CloudResearch's comprehensive participant pool. The survey was designed based on the Kano model and focused on identifying and evaluating 27 features and attributes of healthcare robots. This dataset is intended to help researchers and practitioners understand older adults' preferences and perceptions regarding healthcare robots.

Contents: The dataset consists of responses from 253 participants. Each column in the spreadsheet corresponds to a survey question related to healthcare robot features assessed in the survey.
