This research aims to contribute to the body of knowledge regarding the use of assistive robots for tele-health care in the home through an innovative service model. In contrast to existing tele-consultation, tele-monitoring and tele-medicine service models, the assistive robot enabled tele-health model focuses on providing holistic care (which includes reactive, proactive as well as preventative care). Additionally, unlike existing tele-health technologies it facilitates human-like engagement and reciprocal association between assistive robot and the human partner.
