4	4	With our research, we aim to provide support to Patients with Dementia (PwD) who currently are dependent on their caretakers and significant other to go for walks. This is outlined in more detail in the Objectives section. The presumed baseline is that PwD walk under supervision of their loved ones or caretakers. To reach our objective and support our claims, we would like to put forward the following research question:
5	5
6	6	//Does walking with the MiRo increase the perceived autonomy of people with dementia, compared to walking under guidance of a caretaker?//
	7	+
	8	+
	9	+(deze weghalen of bij future work zetten?)
	10	+Does walking with the MiRo increase the perceived satisfaction?
	11	+To which degree do users express familiarity with the MiRo?
	12	+How do users react to snoezelen with a moving robot?
7	7
8		-To answer this question, we use the following subquestions:
9	9
10		-* Is the MiRo effective in providing guidance to a person with dementia on a predetermined route?
11		-* Does the increase in perceived autonomy outweigh the possible delayed help when a person with dementia gets in trouble on their walk?

25		-The main research question can be answered using a within-subject design in order to be able to measure the //increase// per subject. The learning effect will be mitigated, because the two juxtaposed settings are vastly different. So, there is no advantage for the participant to be subjected to two conditions serially.

33		-* Walking a route
34		-* Wandering off during a walk

37		-Walking a route
38		-The person with dementia will walk a route guided by either a caretaker or by the MiRo.
39		-
40		-Wandering off during a walk
41		-A person with dementia may become lost in their current surroundings. They might wander off from the predetermined route. Depending on the study group, either the caretaker or the MiRo will guide the person back to the route.
42		-
43		-Falling and alerting a caretaker
44		-When a person with dementia gets in trouble when walking around, it is very important that they receive immediate attention.

47	47
48		-To measure the effectiveness of our solution, we use a questionnaire. Since people with dementia may experience difficulties with expressing themselves in a conversation, this questionnaire is lead by an interviewer [[(Neerincx et al., to appear)>>]]. A caretaker may also be present to help the person with dementia accurately express themselves.
