Robot Pets in 2026: Comfort… or a Beautiful Illusion for Seniors?

Описание: In 2026, companionship is changing faster than most people realize.
If you’re a senior living alone—or you love someone who is—this video will help you answer a surprisingly difficult question: If something eases loneliness… but it isn’t “real”… can it still be a best friend?

In this episode, Dr. Harper breaks down the real, science-grounded benefits of pets for older adults, the honest risks and responsibilities many families overlook, and what robotic pets and AI companions can truly do in 2026 (and what they cannot). We’ll also explore the future of humane pet care through tele-vet services, wearable pet health monitors, and AI-powered support—including the privacy and scam risks seniors need to watch for.

This is not a “tech hype” video.
It’s a dignity-first guide to making the right choice—without guilt, regret, or pressure.
