41 +PwDs who are socially inclined will experience nostalgia by mimicking the social interactions they used to have. Without the Miro, another person would usually accompany the PwD and attempt to facilitate any conversation between residents of the ward. Even though PwDs may not be able to express why this way feels unnatural, they can definitely feel that something is off and that their autonomy has been reduced because of it. The Miro allows them to experience what it was like having conversations with others without an additional person being there.

45 +PwDs who are socially inclined may be talking more to co-residents than actually walking the Miro. This is not a problem of its own, but may cause issues if the Miro cannot adapt its programmed behavior to accommodate the PwD.

49 +Given positive and negative effects of walking with the Miro, it is evidently clear that this activity will increase the user's happiness. Even if they dislike the activity (i.e. walking **with** the Miro) itself, the autonomy and exercise that comes with walking without an extra person overseeing the PwD outweighs the PwD's inclination towards walking with a dog-like robot. With that said, there are some obstacles that need to be overcome to mitigate any unnerving effects that the Miro has on the PwD and other stakeholders.

57 +The sensory stimuli produced by the Miro can calm down the PwD when they are distraught. Snoezelen helps with the stimulation of one's mind and encourages PwD to pet the miro to observe a spectrum of LEDs and listen to calming and relaxing sounds.

61 +If the PwD has any auditory or visual impairments, these could alter the experience and the effectiveness of Snoezelen with Miro. In addition, epillepsy, sensitive hearing or similar sensory disorders may cause the PwD to be overwhelmed. As such, the Miro should be able to adapt to each different PwD. Modifications include: changing the volume of sounds, removing (relatively) high-pitched noises and removing visual patterns that may induce epilleptic attacks.
