Value stories

PWD:

  • As a PwD I want someone to undergo meaningful discourse to feel connected to another person/robot/myself.  
  • As a PwD I want to retain my health and well-being as well as possible when I am by myself.
  • As a PwD I want to retain my autonomy and self sufficiency as long as possible.

HCP

  • As a HCP I want assistance in the daily activities of the elderly so that I have more time to focus on the individual PwD.

Family

  • As a family member of a PwD, I want assistance for the PwD so that I feel safe leaving them alone.
  • As a family member of a PwD, I don't want to visit them only to scold them about nutrition for the PwD so that our relationship is not strained by that.
