Due to the scope of this project and the limitations of the MiRo, we will not evaluate Snoezelen as our second function. It is however described within the context of claims to demonstrate how Snoezelen with a future MiRo may affect different persons with dementia.

	36	+Snoezelen with the robot dog is unfortunately not possible with MiRo due to MiRo being limited in a couple of different areas. First of all, MiRo is very fragile. When one touches MiRos head, it moves a bit down each time. Secondly MiRos lights are just a few small LED lights. As Snoezelen would be done by elderly people who might have a visual impairment, it would be preferable to have bigger or more diffused lights so the PwD are able to see a change in colours. Finally, when people are petting the dog, it might be better if the robot dog would have some fur, it would feel more realistic.
	37	+Future work would include incorporating Snoezelen. To incorporate Snoezelen, a new prototype of the robot should be created, once a new prototype has been created, an evaluation on how useful Snoezelen is with this new Prototype should be done as well.

	41	+=== Positive effects ===
	42	+
	43	+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.
	44	+
	45	+=== Negative effects ===
	46	+
	47	+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.

	51	+=== Positive effects ===
	52	+
	53	+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.
	54	+
	55	+=== Negative effects ===
	56	+
	57	+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.
	58	+
	59	+== Claim ==
	60	+
	61	+Whether the PwD likes/dislikes Snoezelen at first seems irrelevant for the outcome that PwD will become either more relaxed at best or not bothered at worst by the Miro at all. In order to justify this claim, the Miro must be programmed to accommodate for sensitivity of each PwD. As failing to do so, may cause long-term trauma or injury for PwD.
