4		-=== People ===
5		-The target audience is people with dementia. Dementia comes in multiple stages: [[src>>https://www.dementiacarecentral.com/aboutdementia/facts/stages/]]
6		-
7		-* Pre-dementia: Some subtle signs appear
8		-* Early dementia: Starts becoming noticeable for others
9		-* Middle dementia: Situation worsens as barely any new information is being registered in memory.
10		-* Late: Continuous assistance is necessary as patients may wander off or fall down due to lack of orientation and/or coordination.
11		-
12		-Besides symptoms of dementia, other characteristics of the elderly should be considered when designing the systems, including but not limited to:
13		-
14		-* Impaired vision
15		-* Impaired hearing
16		-* Cognitive inability to comprehend new technology

26		-=== Contexts ===
27		-People with dementia can have residence in a care center or their own home.
28		-====Care Center====
29		-Residents of a care center conduct their activities in both an **individual setting** as well as in a **group setting**. Different settings come with their own challenges.
30		-* Individual setting: there is no direct supervision, so it may take a while for a caretaker to reach the patient. However, whenever a caretaker is present, the patient usually gets their full deserved attention.
31		-* Group setting: there is direct supervision at all times, but if an accident occurs involving a patient from the group who needs immediate attention and urgent care, this leaves the rest of the group hanging which diminishes the effectiveness.
32		-====Own home====
33		-Patients with dementia who reside in their own home are usually in one of three settings:
34		-
35		-1. Family (living with children and/or spouse) possibly having a health worker coming once or twice a week
36		-2. Sole with nearby assistance
37		-3. Sole with no assistance
38		-
39		-Patients in the earlier stages of dementia tend to go about their day and try to hide their symptoms from their loved ones. If a loved one finds out, they may not seek help for them out of being afraid of the stigma that comes with dementia. This occurs more often in a family situation than in situations where the patient is alone. In the second situation, the patient may have access to a nurse on call, but stigma, cognitive capability of s
