1		-There's no doubt that robotic partners and other AI systems are gradually becoming a trend in our daily lives. For those PwD whose lives become out of order due to their loss of memory, proper medication treatment is not enough as their problems run through every aspect of their daily lives.
	1	+For PwD, their lives become out of order due to their loss of memory. With all the inconveniences dementia has brought to them, a lot of them ended up living alone lacking companionship from family members or friends. In this situation, a robotic partner becomes a perfect option. As the carrier of various technologies, such as speech recognition, movement detection, etc., robotic partners can take good care of the PwD's needs effectively and professionally.

4		-With all the inconveniences dementia has brought to them, a lot of them ended up living alone lacking companionship from family members or friends. What they need is not only a pathological cure but also mental solace. While the caregiver workforce cannot fill the needs of professional care for PwD, a robotic partner with actual embodiment becomes a perfect option in this situation. Apart from the support of medical caring knowledge that's integrated during function design, a robotic partner can also help by creating emotional connections with PwD as chronic loneliness comes with significant health risks.

11	11	We want the robots to be able to interact with the users through more than just music, so robots such as Pepper, who has an in-built display or NAO, who can interact with a tablet, are considered more suitable than Miro. Furthermore, it might feel unnatural to hear an animal-shaped robot play music rather than animal sounds. A smaller robot, such as NAO, is more suitable when users live (more or less) independently, as it can be moved where it needs to be, does not take up a lot of space, and is more affordable than a bigger robot such as Pepper. Furthermore, if the user regularly visits care homes, they can take the robot with them without too much trouble.
