20 20  For our study, we would have liked to invite people with dementia to participate. However, user testing with a vulnerable group as this one is difficult seeing the current circumstances with the COVID-19 pandemic.
21 -For this reason, we decided to design an experiment to be conducted on our fellow students. Students will be briefed on dementia. Then they take on the role of one of the personas, and roleplay a person with dementia. Through this roleplay, we aim to simulate a study with people with dementia as accurately as possible in the given situation. We will give them one page of the [[persona handout document>>https://xwiki.ewi.tudelft.nl/xwiki/wiki/sce2022group02/download/Test/WebHome/personas-handouts.pdf?rev=1.1]]

55 -The procedure is that the person with dementia is walking with the Miro. The PwD is given the MiRo and the bracelet/leash, the MiRo has a pre-programmed route to walk. The PwD is asked to walk with the dog. While they are walking the dog, they are observed, preferably by cameras as to simulate the situation how the MiRo should be used. The emotional state of the PwD is actively monitored by looking at facial expressions. Furthermore, the researchers will actively check how easily the PwD interact with the MiRo to check the familiarity. When the PwD is done walking, some small questions will be asked to check the satisfaction, autonomy and familiarity.

55 +The second situation is Snoezelen. The PwD will sit at a table, the MiRo will be put on the table. The researcher will either stay in the room or put up cameras to observe the PwD. The PwD will be encouraged to pet and play with the MiRo. During the Snoezelen, the emotional state of the PwD will be observed. The researchers will also observe how easily the PwD handles the MiRo. After the snoezelen, the PwD will be asked how they felt during the Snoezelen.

57 57  Functions like when an elderly person falls or when they walk the wrong direction will not forcibly be tested with PwD as this might create a dangerous situation. These functions will be tested in advance with the use of "Dogfeeding". Other people from the development-team will test these functions.

71 -In addition to the questionnaire, we conducted a short interview with our participant who is hard-of-hearing. Their study was conducted without them wearing their hearing aids.
72 -We asked them if they thought their experience would differ if they were wearing their hearing aids. Their answer was that the biggest thing was that in a real scenario, the wristband doesn't give you enough information about what to do. It only tells you that you are something wrong. They commented that if they were 83, they would not have enough direction from this, compared to someone who could hear sounds: MiRo could direct them back by barking at the user, for example. However, they mention that if you are severely hearing impaired, there is probably nothing you can do other than vibrating the wristband.
73 -We asked them how we could make it more inclusive. They mention that the robot is small and not very visible, which might cause problems for people with a sight impairment. People who are not familiar with walking dogs would also not naturally keep looking at MiRo. They recommended using a larger robot.
