Objectives
Introduction
The main objective of the application is to improve the wellbeing of the PwD (Person with Dementia).
This is done by reminding them about eating and drinking. Reminding is conducted by the robot platform, which around the preset mealtimes engages in a discourse about the eating and drinking.
The robot platform is placed in the home/personal room of the PwD. From there the robot platform will assist the PwD to be more independent, by providing assistance in remembering the mealtimes, engaging in discourse about the wellbeing of the person and thus causing self-reflection. This approach allows to improve the physical wellbeing of the PwD by improving their nutrition, as well as reduces the strain on the personal relationships, as the relatives and HCP do not need to remind about the mealtimes as much, thus saving the mental and time-resources of the other human stakeholders for other tasks.
