52 -The procedure is that the person with dementia is walking with WAF. The PwD is given WAF and the proximity, WAF 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 by a separate observer, carefully noting down any remarkable events. 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 WAF to check the familiarity. When the PwD is done walking, some small questions will be asked to check the satisfaction, autonomy and familiarity.
52 +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.

54 -Functions like when an elderly person falls or when they walk in 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.
