12 -In the period 2018-2020 there has been an increase of 46% exists to use smaller, less complicate and stationary robots compared to 2000-2018. Such robots are easier to deploy in the real-world and come at a lower cost making them more accessible. Research also has indicated that patients find smaller, static robots less threating since they are seen less as an obstacle or privacy risk. Usage of a LCD screen allows for customization, adaptability, accessbiltiy and cultural transations. LCD screen also allow for integrations of other features (ex. teleconferencing, reminders and touch input). The ability to display visualization of speech has been argued for as an essential future to avoid misunderstandings.

The ability to display visualization of speech has been argued for as an essential future to avoid misunderstandings. Another interface that could be used are voice assistants such as Alexa or Siri since these are much more available than large robots like Pepper or Nao. These are limited to task-only agents for specific scenarios and have not yet proven reliable in the field. Another relevant factor is the time to respond which for these agents are rather high (8s for Alexa), while for elderly these times should be able dynamically change. They also should be able to handle pauses, interruptions, ways to recover the conversation and affirmations. It should be noted that >80% of Alzheimer's patients suffer from confusion due to speech.
