	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.

	67	+Even if the PwD is disinterested initially, they may still have the innate desire to explore the association between touching the Miro and its response. If the PwD then decides that it is not their cup of tea, they were at least suggested a new activity that stimulated their mind. Else, they may become fond of Snoezelen in subsequent sessions.

	71	+Similar to the negative effects for PwD who are into Snoezelen, PwDs may get traumatized when the Miro expresses unexpected behavior or overstimulates them. These effects are augmented when PwD has no inclination for Snoezelen or similar activities at all.
