Stakeholders

Direct stakeholders

The target group is defined as follows:

• People with dementia (PwD)
• Living at home (alone or with others)
• In early stages of dementia (problem-solving issues, minor memory losses, planning problems).

The other direct stakeholder is the healthcare professional (HCP):

• Visiting the patients at home at least once a week
• Checking regularly on the patients (no need to do active surveillance, just to remain available in case a problem occurs)
• Doing activities with the patient
• Filling in medicine planning for the patient, and/or activity breakdown (parameterizable, based on what is required for the patient)

Indirect stakeholders

Close family of the patient:

• Living with the patient or visiting regularly
• Pepper takes on her part of the tasks to relieve them

Value stories

As a PwD, I want to (not all of them are applicable to all patients):

• be able to stay independent, autonomous, and manage my own life
• be reminded of the medicine I have to take
• get help to do activities I have problem with
• get help from the robot if I have panic attack (like sunset syndrome)
• get emotional support when I feel alone.

As a HCP, I want to:

• have social interaction with my patients
• be informed when the health of the patient deteriorates or when they have an urgent problem
• enter in the robot the planning of the week for the patient (if the patient needs it)
• enter the breakdown of activities in the robot so that the patient can do them step by step and remains independent (although helped by the robot).

As a person living with a PwD, or a relative/friend visiting them, I want to:

• have some time for myself without needing to always assist the PwD
• see my relative with PwD be happy in their life
• know that the person is safe even if I am not home with them.
