1		-This Human Factors section should describe the core theories, models and methods that underpin the design specification and the underlying design decisions. The ReJAM project aims to support People with Dementia (PwD) in their everyday life, People with Dementia, while their disease progresses, want more than anything to maintain their autonomy. One way to do that is to engage in meaningful activities and routines they have held for years, or at least before their diagnosis (Han et al., 2016). It has been observed that people who suffer from dementia often forget to eat and hydrate properly (Al-Anssari et al., 2021), leading to malnutrition, dehydration, and multiple other health issues that stem from a disrupted, unbalanced diet. Furthermore, it can lead to a faster progression of the disease in people with Alzheimer's (Kigozi et al., 2021). Therefore, it can be helpful to remind and encourage PwD to eat and drink . Up until now, this responsibility falls to members of the family or caregivers, but it is often too tiresome and time-consuming for them, or even mentally taxing for the PwD who might get irritated and refuse to eat ("Poor appetite and dementia", 2022). This can also create a lot of friction and exhaustion between the family members or spouses (van Wijngaarden et al., 2018).

3		-In general, the ReJAM project aims at robot's support that accommodates the cognitive demands and capabilities of people with dementia (such as the desires and constraints  to recall and reminiscence) and their relations with music perception and performance. Therefore the **Music and Cognition** subsection is included, which should describe relevant state-of-the-art literature on these topics (if another topic than music is driving the design, music could be replaced by this alternative topic). The **Socio-Cognitive Engineering** (SCE) subsection describes the human-centered design methods, principles and guidelines that are specifically relevant for the concerning robot design, such as value stories, inclusive design, team design patterns, ... In a similar way, the subsections **Human-Robot Collaboration** and **Evaluation Methods** describe literature on the relevant HRC models and theories and evaluation methods for the specific design. The current text of the subsections is just meant as a short incomplete inspiration, to be tailored to your own (sub)project.

	1	+This Human Factors section should describe the core theories, models and methods that underpin the design specification and the underlying design decisions. The ReJAM project aims at robot support that supports the daily activities of People with Dementia (PwD), accommodating (1) their social, cognitive, affective and physical demands and capabilities (such as the desires and constraints to recall and reminiscence) and (2) tapping into their music perception and performance. Therefore the **Healthy & Meaningful Daily Activities** subsection is included, which should describe relevant state-of-the-art literature on these topics (if another topic than music is driving the design, music could be replaced by this alternative topic). The **Socio-Cognitive Engineering** (SCE) subsection describes the human-centered design methods, principles and guidelines that are specifically relevant for the concerning robot design, such as value stories, inclusive design, team design patterns, ...
