2
3 == DO1: Help people with dementia remember their daily tasks.==
4
5 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.
6
7 == DO2: Help reinforce the connection between specific music and daily task with quizzes.==
8
9 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.
10
11 == DO3: Notify family members if PwD is unresponsive.==
12
13 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.
14
15 == DO4: Play music during the day that they like.==
16
17 Almost everybody loves listening to music. When used correctly it can reduce stress, help keep focused and entertaining at the same time. Regardless of age, these effects are really important for the well-being of a person.
18
19 == DO5: Notify PwD if they forget to do their daily tasks.==

21 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.
