| 3 | We plan to use music for two main ideas. | ||
| 4 | |||
| 5 | * Pepper can play music for the PwD if they ask to. | ||
| 6 | This can help them release pressure, feel better, and relax. This is part of the emotional support provided by Pepper. | ||
| 7 | 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. | ||
| 8 | |||
| 9 | * Pepper can use music to relax the person when engaging into a potentially conflictual dialog. | ||
| 10 | //This needs to be based on the expertise of the healthcare professional who follows the patient.// | ||
| 11 | If the person seems more open to dialog when listening to some calm or relaxing music, then Pepper can be parameterized to play the type of music selected whenever she needs to engage into some potentially conflictual dialog. This is to increase the chances of not hurting the PwD feelings. | ||
| 12 | Potentially conflictual dialogs can be reminded the person that they forgot to take medicine, or that a mother forgot to cook for her child. In both cases, the person is reminded that they failed to do something important. Therefore, the dialog has to be conducted taking this important fact into account. If the healthcare professional concludes that music can help in that way for a certain patient, then it is an extra tool to use in this case. |
