During those activities she has to introduce each activity and take care of the process. During the activities she has to pay close attention to the group dynamics and the emotional well-being of the individual group members. At times, she finds it difficult to coordinate the recreational activities, while also paying attention to all the people and their emotional responses. 3 -Mary joins the meeting centre every day to take part in the activities and enjoy her time with other people. However, because of her condition she has difficulty initiating conversations. At times she becomes frustrated and her anger can flare up, thereby negatively influencing the atmosphere in the group. 1 + 2 +== Problem scenario == 3 + 4 +Peter and Catherine live together with Peter having moderate dementia. Catherine still works during the days, and she has club activities and friends she want's to meet sometimes in the evenings and weekends. This results in Peter being alone at home often, and this leads to problems as he frequently forgets to drink, and doesn't eat the meals prepared for him. When Catherine comes back, there's a good chance Peter will be dehydrated, which causes a lot of problems. However, when asked why he didn't drink and eat the meal left for him, Peter get's defensive and frustrated, increasing the tension between the two. All of this makes Catherine worry about leaving the home, and she has started skipping activities she would actually want to go to, decreasing her quality of life in turn. 5 + 6 +== Design scenario == 7 + 8 +When Catherine leaves for work, she leaves the robot on the dining table. During some times of the day, the robot starts a wellbeing discourse starting with a soft tune to not startle Peter. During the discourse it asks about Peter's state, and reminds him to drink. When meal time approaches, the robot gives a reminder to eat, asks some other questions and proposes to play music during the meal. When Catherine comes back from work, she finds Peter in good health, and can in a moment go to her weekly Bridge club meetup. Her friends have noticed that they see her more nowadays, and she seems happier too. 9 + 10 +%% will adjust this part later on 11 +"A person with dementia may lose interest in food. They may refuse to eat it or may spit it out. The person may become angry or agitated, or behave in a challenging way during mealtimes. If a person isn't eating enough, it can lead to weight loss and less muscle strength."
