Places and the environment where the robot will be used.

The robot should be generally used in either the patient's home or at a care facility.

Home

Patients usually live home alone at this stage.

Genral environment

People of old age usually have smaller houses and fewer rooms than bigger families.
This allows the user to not move the robot room-by-room, but have it in a central position from where it's audible in the entire house.
The tablet could be moved but it should always be in a reachable place by the patient.
The consists of a bedroom, kitchen, bathroom and a living room.

Care facilities

This robot is not for patients who live indefinitely in care facilities but for people who come regularly but still live at home.

General environment

Care facilities could be social places where elderly people talk to each other and socialize while being supervised by professional caregivers.

Our robot choice allows the patients to pick up the robot and bring it with themselves to these facilities.
