Objective:
Narrative objectives1 - This study aims to develop a conversational assessment system that evaluates cognitive function through free, natural dialogue with a robot equipped with an interactive dialogue system, called WANCO. Unlike conventional tools such as the HDS-R, this system seeks to determine cognitive status without formal testing. We will validate its effectiveness by comparing its assessments with scores obtained from the HDS-R.
