3 = Effect of music on patients =
4 Research has been done into the effects of music on patients suffering from major neurocognitive disorder. The research shows that music can improve behavior, mood [3] and cognition [2]. Furthermore, music shows to be a powerful tool for inducing reminiscence [1], which is important for improving memory. Besides, music has also been proved to be able to improve speech fluency and activate innovative dialogues [2]. We will use music during our experiment in order to improve the cognition of patients, which the use of music can achieve.

6 = Use of music =
7 In our use of music we aim to improve the memory of the patients while simultaneously linking the music to daily activities that the patients perform. By personalizing the music for the individual patients, with the help of caregivers or loved ones, we ensure the patient is convinced to use the platform. Furthermore, the personalized music might already remind them of performing certain daily actions they need to perform therefore making the creation of links easier. Moreover, by adding a daily quiz about which music belongs to a certain activity a stronger cognitive link can also be created.

9 The specific music linked to activities is changeable with permission of the caregiver to prevent patients from gaining a dislike from specific songs by repetitive exposure. The volume of the music can be adapted by the caregiver or loved one as older people have a higher likelihood of being hearing impaired. Moreover the robot is able to dynamically adjust the volume of the music when patients are not detected in the same room. Which is necessary when dealing with patients at home as the robot is mostly stationary when not being moved around.
