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>

22 <td>Apart from helping PwD live ordered lives, the patient's physical health is also what we take into consideration. 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>

30 <td>Good social activities can help stable people's mental state. Researches have shown that even one hour of social interaction per week can help reduce agitation level and improve life quality. However, for those PwD, normal social life becomes almost impossible due to their loss of memory. This objective aims to keep PwD socially active through interactions with the robot.</td>

46 <td>Considering the important role the caregivers play in controlling patient's dementia, keeping them updated with the patient's latest progress on controlling dementia is necessary. With this information, they can do adjustments to the treatment solutions. Furthermore, the caregivers can also get to know when the patient is not in a good condition through the robot and offer timely professional assistance.</td>
