About this episode
Marilyn Milano discusses the impact of robotic pets on the elderly, particularly in enhancing their quality of life.
Marilyn Milano is a Seattle-based vocalist and pianist with an especially big heart for animals, and what they bring to our lives. Pets have been found to be a comfort to the elderly, and particularly those living with memory issues. Related to this particular passion, Marilyn became aware of 'Tombot,' a company that has created a realistic robotic puppy, Jennie. This puppy has even been included in a movie, entitled 'Walkies," showing its comfort and assistance to a woman. Marilyn shares important insight into how in this age, there is a new option, a new opportunity for what this can mean in enhancing life for the elderly. www.marilynmilano.net www.tombot.com See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info .
