Week 1

The first week of the project was particularly important as we had to figure out the specifics of the program that we wanted to implement. I mainly worked with Marlein and did some research about the meaningful activities and how we could assist PwD in dealing with those activities. Also, about the reminiscing effect of music and the ways we could exploit it.

Week 2

The lecture about music gave me an insight into how the brain works, more specifically that of PwD, and how music can have multiple benefits in the delaying of symptoms or the soothing of PwD. Given that information, we further specified our scenario and the target patients of our prototype. Personally, I worked on the Stakeholders of our prototype. 

Week 3

This week we got to work with the NAO robot. It took us a bit of time to set up, so we didn't manage too much, however, it was very informative as we got a feeling of how a person would interact with it in real life. I helped formulate a first version of the use case and I created the Person ontology and filled in the respective information under Ontology. I also filled in the Design Pattern and Ontology under Human Resources tab.
