How can humanoid robots improve the level of healthcare service for geriatric patients?

Feelings of isolation, threat of infection of a deadly disease, and lack of good motivation for physical activities are not new to retired and geriatric populations. However, the COVID-19 Pandemic has exacerbated these issues. People in the health sector have turned to technological solutions to help keep the older generation safe but avoid them feeling lonely and stay in connection with their caretakers and family.
