In Jappan they use robot animal dolls to help elderly people with loneliness or dementia.
Discussion
I read that maybe about a year ago.
About two years ago I spoke with a woman in Kentucky. It was at a doll auction.
Her father has dementia & we spoke about how he is deeply attached to a doll now. She knew my plan was to start a doll show explaining how they have been used historically.
He was awesome to speak with as well.
