The primary objective of this study is to verify the acceptability of the GUARDIAN system by the elderly, detected through the scale Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT). The GUARDIAN platform consists of two connected apps: one dedicated to the caregiver and one dedicated to the older people, plus a robot (Misty II). Misty II will live with the elderly, it will have the task of detecting his presence inside the house, reminding him of appointments, assisting him in his daily activities and diminishing the sense of loneliness. The application dedicated to the caregiver receives the data and self reports of the elderly from the robot, in order to constantly offer an updated picture of the condition of the elderly and to keep them informed about their condition and well-being.
