What this Trial Is About
The goal of this multiple baseline single case study is to study the (cost)effectiveness of a social robot in reducing professional caregiver support and promoting independence for individuals in long-term disability care experiencing problems with daily structure and planning. The main research questions it aims to answer are: * What is the effect of the social robot on the frequency of moments professional caregivers support individuals experiencing problems with daily structure and planning with the execution of daily activities, compared to care as usual, after 6 weeks? * Does the effect of the social robot persist in the long term (after 6 months)? * What is the cost-effectiveness of the social robot? Participants will: * Use a social robot in their daily living environment * Answer survey questions about their quality of life and wellbeing during the study period * Share their experiences in interviews Their profesional caregivers will: * Register the frequency and duration of support they provide to the participant daily for 13 weeks and a 2-week follow-up * Give weekly updates and score participants' goal attainment while using the social robot * Fill in questionnaires on participants' productivity and health care consumption during the study period * Share their experiences in interviews
