30 -== OB01: Help delay memory loss for patient's daily tasks.==
31 31  
32 -As people with dementia sometimes forget to do their daily tasks it is really important to have something to remind them of those activities. Not taking their medicine, eating well, or using the bathroom could sound like small things, but for elderly people, these things are becoming harder and harder to remember. Thus keeping a good daily routine helps the patient delay memory loss. Writing something on a screen is not that effective for notifying somebody about something. For elderly people and people with dementia, clear, easily audible commands, and music is very important.

34 -== OB02: Help the patient to keep a healthy lifestyle through exercise.==
35 -
36 -Many studies show that people who are physically active are less likely to experience a decline in their mental function. Thus a simple daily exercise is helpful to lower the risk of deteriorating dementia.

38 -== OB03: Help the patient keep some social contacts.==
39 -
40 -Interacting with others can help dementia patients. Researches show that even 1 hour of social interaction per week can help reduce agitation level and improve life quality. This objective aims to help PwD through regular social activities.

42 -== OB04: Help reinforce the connection between specific music and daily task with quizzes.==
43 -
44 -It is known that activities performed while listening to a specific sound or music are more easily recalled. The quiz focuses on that aspect and reinforces the connection between sound and action.

46 -== OB05: Keep the caretakers updated with the patient's condition==
47 -
48 -Being able to tell if an elderly person is unwell really fast is very important information that could save the life of that person. That applies more to people battling dementia as they might do more dangerous things (leaving on the stove, wondering outside the house) due to their reduced mental abilities.
