10 10  We mainly focus on people in early stages of dementia, when they are still quite autonomous and want to engage in activities that they enjoy as much as possible. They also have relatively clear minds and want to keep the feeling that they are in control of their life.

15 15  ===Design===
16 16  In our design, we mainly focus on reminders and activity breakdown.
17 -Reminders include medication, meal, activity reminders, which help a PwD to remember daily tasks and schedules. As it is not always the best option to make the patient feel they have forgotten something, Pepper can also engage in a conversation with the patient leading to the point where the medicine is reminded.
18 -Breaking down an activity into smaller easy steps could help the PwD to complete relatively complex tasks and have a feeling of fulfillment. This process is accomplished with the help of healthcare professionals. 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. The same process can be done if necessary by a friend/relative of the patient with the patient.
