Robot pets lead the charge to battling dementia patient loneliness. Something brought out in the USA five years ago and no in full swing in the UK, see the pets in action in the studio and a report on how its helping dementia patients in care homes. There are other animals too, a baby seal was one of the first ones I saw being used years ago and it very useful for people who are elderly, or with dementia or even suffer from loneliness.
