1 == Basic claims ==
2 The following claims are based on the use cases.
3
4 **CL001: The patient can associate music they hear with activities they need to do.**
5 Given enough practice, the patient should be able to make a connection between the music and the tasks.
6
7 **CL002: The user can tell if the robot knows they completed the task.**
8 It is good to include some confirmation from the robot, so that the patients know that the robot knows that they are donw with the task and is not stuck waiting for a reply.
9
10 **CL003: It is easier to contact the caregiver.**
11 It is also possible to just include the caregiver's contact information when setting up the robot.
12
13 **CL004: Customizable settings make it easier for the patient to remember the correct activity.**
14 By allowing the users to pick music that they like or that they feel fits well with an activity, it should be easier for them to remember the connection.
15
16 **CL005: Seeing the robot move along when exercising motivates the patient to keep exercising.**
17 Having a partner to exercise with is a good motivator to keep exercising. Could also link with **RQ008: The robot can detect movements**, to correct the user on their posture.
18
19 **CL006: Data helps design better exercise routines.**
20 By keeping track of exercise sessions and the patient's status during them, it is possible to optimize the workout program and fit it better to the user.
21
22 **CL007: Analysis can point out other health issues, if any.**
23 By looking at physical activity data over time, it is possible to spot patterns which point to physical ailments.
24
25 **CL008: It is possible to detect unresponsive patients.**
26 Movement is an essential part of interacting, so if the robot is able to detect the lack of movement mid conversation, it can deduce that the patient is unresponsive.
27
28 == General claims ==
29 The following claims do not dirrectly correspond to a single use case, but instead the use cases each contribute, to some degree, to these claims.
30
31 **CL011: Patient's health improves.**
32 By exercising regularly and talking with the robot, both physical and mental health are expected to improve.
33
34 **CL012: Patient is happy to interact with the robot.**
35 It is crucial that the user experience is positive in quality, to ensure that the patient doesn't view using the robot as a chore, as this might negatively impact their health.
36
37 == Tested claims ==
38 The following claims are derived based on the basic ones for the quiz use case, and are the ones targeted in the evaluation.
39
40 **CL101: People with dementia remember their tasks easier if they are associated with a piece of music. **
41 The main objective of the robot is to make and reinforce the connection between music and task, so that the reminders would be gentler, in the form of a music fragment, rathern that directly reminding the patients wath to do.
42
43 **CL102: By practicing with the NAO, the connection between activity and music gets stronger over time.**
44 It is assumed that practice with the robot (mainly through the quiz) can help the patient make the connection between music and activity stronger, and eventually create a reflex.
