Mathieu Jung-Muller 9.1 9 This is done by helping them in their daily activities, as well as reminding them of the basics to do in their life (bathing, eating, drinking).
10 The robot agent is placed in the house of the PwD, where it can assist the person and especially interact with them.

Mathieu Jung-Muller 9.1 12 Since the robot is assisting the PwD, they do not need assistance from another person and can live their life in a relatively autonomous way.
13 Moreover, other stakeholders like close relatives and healthcare professionals need to be less involved, so they have less effort to do to support the PwD, and this also improves their life quality.
