	8	+To achieve a strong human-robot interaction, the tasks that the robot needs to fulfill in order to aid the person with dementia should be designed in such a way that these points are considered in the development. To address these limiting factors, the Interaction design patterns (IDPs) should involve easy-to-use interaction options. In the scenario we have chosen to examine, which is reminding people to eat and stay hydrated throughout the day, these can be represented by the following implementation choices:
9	9
10		-* Interaction with the robot through speech will assist people in doing the activities. This is a natural form of interaction for people with dementia and is not too technical.
11		-* Respond to people based on their perceived emotional state, therefore avoiding further irritation and improving their mood instead.
12		-* Avoid putting the blame on the people with dementia and encourage them instead, so as to not cause embarrassment for behaviors that are caused by their disease.
13		-* Recognize people to provide adaptive interaction facilities without people having to tell who they are. This can be useful for the care workers inside the nursing home as well as the robot that is interacting with these stakeholders in their own way.
	10	+* **Interaction with the robot through speech will assist people in doing the activities**
	11	+This is a natural form of interaction for people with dementia and is not too technical. In our case, the robot we have chosen (NAO), provides the functionalities of speech, movement, and haptic sensors in different parts of its body that could be used as input. Therefore, the patient does not need to have any specific technical knowledge and can interact with the robot as if it was a human.
	12	+* **Respond to people based on their perceived emotional state**
	13	+The robot should be able to detect the emotional state of the patient, through their facial expressions and responses, and act in a way that is appropriate. The aim is to avoid further irritation and improve their mood instead, keeping them as calm as possible throughout stressful situations.
	14	+* **Avoid putting the blame on the person and encourage them instead**
	15	+People with dementia often feel bad when they forget things, or behave in a certain way because of their disease. Our goal is to try and make them remember. or realize some of their mistakes, on their own,
	16	+* **Having the ability to personalize the different interaction facilities**
