Abstract: We show the key role of the population of informal caregivers, the reason why the situation should worsen in the future, leaving more seniors not receiving enough social care. We show that virtual agents, holograms and robots might be possible complementary agents for human and elderly care. We also propose a reduced glossary for the virtual agents, retaining the clearest term of EVA. Then is introduced Loneliness: its relevance amongst seniors and more in a time of Covid crisis. A novel Service agents acceptance research model is presented, to be tested for elderly-care by a robot for now, and adapted to human care Globally, and overall human interaction in general when social link matters, and for all 3 agents: EVAs, Holograms or Robots.
