Corrections: Flubbed on the name of the Blood Pressure iPhone gadget company, it’s called Withings. And by the way, I didn’t intentionally dress like Elmer Fudd in this video. It was something I realized too late.

In case you’re not familiar with GeekBeat.TV, it’s a podcast that reviews and features tech news, gadgets, robots, social media and the web. It’s hosted by the wonderfully geeky Cali Lewis who recently included a Geeklish video in the latest episode!! If you’re a hard-core geek, being on GeekBeat.TV is tantamount to getting on CNN -or- (for rockers) having Mick Jagger pull you on stage.

A super big thanks to @CaliLewis for posting. Over the last few months I’ve had a blast blogging & working with the whole team over at GeekBeat.TV, make sure you check out all of our posts over at the blog. – Brodie =)

Therapy Nao Robot

In my latest post for GeekBeat.TV I rounded up five robots that are changing the world of therapy as we know it today. It’s been documented by numerous credible sources that individuals dealing with social disorders, Alzheimer’s, Autism and Dementia have been known to make gains using social-companion robots like Nao, Paro, Keepon and Popchilla.

The thought is this..
If a person finds social interaction with humans too overwhelming, a “social” robot specifically programmed to do so, could act as a less obtrusive point of interaction capable of teaching the user through emotional expressions, colour, facial expressions, gestures and so on. The robots are of course accompanied by a professional therapist, in some instances with the robot being controlled remotely by the therapist.

When you think ‘robot’ an image of a metal-Bender-like character probably comes to mind but social robots used in therapy often resemble a stuffed animal making them also a substitute for animal therapy.
