dc.description.abstractIn this work, we present the development and evaluation of a social companion and conversation partner for the special user group of elderly.With the aim of designing a user-adaptive system, we responded to the desires of the elderly which have been identified during various interviews and created a companion which talks and listens to the elderly users. Moreover, we conducted a user study with a small group of retired seniors living at home or in a nursing home. The results show that our companion and its dialogue were perceived very positively and that a social companion and conversation partner is indeed in demand by lonely seniors.en
