23.1	14	<td>As people with dementia sometimes forget to do their daily tasks, which would cause mess in their lives. It is of great importance to remind them of doing those activities, such as taking medicine, eating on time, or using the bathroom. Besides, keeping a good daily routine can also help the patient delay memory loss. Thus, we aim to help delay memory loss of PwD through reminding them of daily activities by means of music.</td>

Many studies have shown that people who are physically active are less likely to experience a decline in their mental function. Thus we also set the goal to help the patient lead a healthy life through doing excercise, hoping to lower the risk of deteriorating dementia.</td>

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.</td>
