Málaga (16-17 Junio 2016) ; Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) is an integrated clinical procedure to evaluate frail old people status and create therapy plans to improve their quality and quantity of life. In this paper we present CLARC, a mobile robot able to receive the patient and his family, accompany them to the medical consulting room and, once there, help the physician to capture and manage their data during CGA procedures. The hardware structure of CLARC is based on a robotic platform from MetraLabs. The software architecture of the system incorporates a deeply tested framework for interactive robots. This framework, by encoding the whole CGA session using Automated Planning, is able to autonomously plan, drive, monitor and evaluate the session, while also managing robot navigation and data acquisition. CLARC incorporates a series of sensors allowing to collect data automatically, using non-invasive procedures. The healthcare professional can use the platform to automatically collect data while addressing other tasks such as personal interviewing, data evaluation or care planning. First trials will be carried out in hospitals in Seville and Barcelona in June and July 2016, respectively. ; This work has been partially funded by the European Union ECHORD++ project (FP7-ICT-601116) and the TIN2015-65686-C5-1-R Spanish Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad project.
