4	4	People with dementia, especially during the early stages where they are still quite autonomous, want to engage in personally meaningful activities that they enjoy. They also want to keep the feeling that they are in control of their life.

20	20	The healthcare professional spends time with the patient to figure out which activities they enjoy the most while being unable to carry out the tasks required. Then, the professional enters the different steps into the robot's memory so that the person can ask Pepper and follow the steps to realize the activities they want.

24	24	Human-Robot partnership is the collaborative process in which humans and robots work together to achieve shared goals. In the case of people with dementia and Pepper, we can define some objectives for them. An objective consists of an achievement, a goal, and a task. For example, the achievement can be to successfully perform a home-gardening activity. In this case, the goal is that the PwD knows how to perform the activity. The task is to listen to Pepper explaining what to do step by step and to use the associated tablet visuals for further help.

26	26	In our case, the Human-Robot partnership is included. Pepper needs to be customized by a HCP according to the specific situation of a PwD (including their state of dementia, their daily activities, etc). For example, the medication, meal, or calendar reminders, as well as activity breakdowns such as wake-up routine, need to be specific to a certain PwD. In particular, the activities should be meaningful and enjoyable for the PwD because they can feel connected and engaged. Connectedness is an important motivation for engagement in daily activities. PwDs can feel connected among themselves, with others, or with the environment [1]. Identifying the underlying motivation for PwDs to engage in different activities is important to help them achieve them successfully.
