    Smart Mirror with a virtual twin who helps the user as a close companion. The virtual twin monitors the user's physical appearance and tracks the data gathered from given inputs. Since this is an intelligent virtual twin it uses machine learning techniques. It helps to improve the user's mental and physical health by detecting medical conditions and providing suitable suggestions in a more personalized way. This virtual twin not only focuses on physical or mental health conditions but also gives friendly suggestions about suitable styles which helps to improve the person's life quality.

    Design, implementation and field tests of a socially assistive robot for the elderly: Healthbot version 2
    (IEEE, 2012-06-24) Jayawardena, C; Kuo, I; Datta, C; Stafford, R.Q; Broadbent, E; MacDonald, B. A
    This paper presents the second version of a mobile service robot (HealthBot) designed for older people. The lessons learned from studies of the first version of the robot at a retirement village, and design decisions for the second version, are discussed. Technical requirements of field trials, a focus on cognitive human-robot interactions, the importance of working together in a multidisciplinary team, and the necessity for rapid iterative development suggested a new software framework. The features of new framework are discussed and implementation details are presented. Details of field trials and user acceptance results are presented. Results are promising for older-user acceptance of the robot.
