1 -We plan to use music for two main purposes:
1 +We plan to use music for one main purpose.

3 +Pepper would play music at the beginning of a behaviour, to psychologically prepare the patient. The music would be customized by the HCP or a relative to better suit the musical tastes of the patient. The music is supposed to be some calm music so as not to startle the PwD. It is an introduction or a signal that Pepper will start talking soon. Hopefully, the music can be chosen in a way that the PwD can associate certain tasks with certain actions (for instance, music 1 is meal reminder, while music 2 and 3 or for two different medicine to take).

5 +The musics are chosen by the HCP and the relatives, and are added to Pepper thanks to the interface. The expected format is simply a sound track (for instance, .mp3) that Pepper can play. In our prototype, Pepper plays music directly through her own speakers. However, some Bluetooth speakers could also be used if there is a need for louder sounds (for a very small difference in the implementation of the prototype). Similarly, the sounds could be connected to hearing device of the PwD, if necessary.

7 +The sound generalization to other devices than Pepper's own speakers also applies to the voice messages Pepper says, not only to the music.

3 3  * Pepper can play music for the PwD if they ask to.
4 4  This can help them release pressure, feel better, and relax. This is part of the emotional support provided by Pepper.
5 5  However, music does not act as a placeholder or a replacement for other activities. If the PwD does an activity they enjoy, the relaxing and mood effects can be as strong as those implied by music. For this reason, the main focus is still to allow the person to perform activities thanks to the task breakdown. Music is just an extra feature in that case.

7 -* Pepper would play music at the beginning of an activity, to prepare the patient psychologically to do the activity.
8 -It is like a gentle reminder in case of startling the PwD when Pepper suddenly starts to talk.
