Having been tested extensively since it was developed in 1993 and now used in a number of nursing homes in Japan and other countries, Paro has proved successful in improving the psychological (such as relaxation and motivation), physiological (vital signs) and social (instigating communication) aspects of in-patients and caregivers.
