Presentation and motivation

I am a master student that follows the artificial intelligence track. I took this course for three reasons: Firstly, as I believe in a future in which both artificial intelligence - both as software and in robotics - and human will have to work together, it seemed like the perfect course to take understand the cooperation of both. Secondly, I already took a lot of theoretical courses and it was important for me to do a course that has an important social impact. Lastly, as my grandmother just got diagnosed a brain tumour this summer and as I saw her cognitive abilities degrease week by week, it was very special for me to work on a project that targeted people with dementia.

Week 1:

  
Since the goal of this project is to develop a prototype that meets a real life need. The field of knowledge is very wide ranging from the types of dementia, and the needs of these people, to the type of activities they want to engage in, to the technologies available to help them.
In order to explore the topic in its entirety we decided to divide each of these tasks among the different members of the group. The idea being that each person will do in-depth research in one of the areas and can present it to the group for the weekend. This way the whole group will be proficient on the topic as a whole.

I chose to work on two aspects:
Location of PwD:
I have listed the advantages, disadvantages and specificity of two settings, health care center, and the patient's home. This allowed us to realize what was possible.

Interaction Goals:
I researched the needs of people with dementia. I identified three types of needs: functional, emotional, and safety.
