1 -Living facility of a demented person consisting of:
2 -* Bedroom
3 -* Cooking area
4 -* Bathroom
5 -* Living room
6 -* Caretakers and other visitors
1 +Our core target group is people in early stages of dementia who live at their own place (and not in a care center or a residence for elderly people).
2 +This means the environment is the living facility of a PwD. They can live alone, with a spouse, children, extended family, etc.
7 7  
8 -The robot has access to all these facilities.
4 +In our main scenario, a healthcare professional visits the PwD at least once a week to assess the evolution of dementia and interact with the PwD. However, if the PwD is more autonomous and/or gets enough support from informal caregivers, the scenario can be generalized to a situation where the HCP comes less frequently.
5 +In any case, social interactions with both the HCP and informal caregivers are key parts of our environment.

7 +In case the person lives alone, Pepper provides them with company and allows them to retain some of their autonomy.
8 +In case the person lives with other people, Pepper can relieve these people so that they need to spend less time taking care of the PwD. They can then rest or use the time for themselves (although Pepper is always subordinate to the decision of the caretakers). Pepper also takes care of the person when none of the other housemates are home.

1 +You could phrase it somewhat more clearly that you aim at situations at which the PwD is living independently. You mention the health care professional. Note that informal caregivers (in Dutch "mantelzorg") take an important role in providing support.
