20	20	The study will be conducted on approximately twenty people in the early stages of dementia. To avoid too much gender imbalance, there will be at least five men and five women. For the same reason, we hope to find at least five people around 50 or younger, although we expect most participants to be over 70 years old.
21		-The participants will be selected based on a pool of PwD who live at home and need regular visits from an HPC. Only the volunteers will be kept for the experiment. The participants must have no experience of a Pepper robot helping with dementia.
22		-As our experiment involves the PwD in their home environment, relatives and healthcare professionals (HPC) will also be involved in the process: although not being the targets of the experiment, they will contribute to obtaining the measurements and results.

31	31	The PwD will live their daily life, without Pepper in the beginning, then accompanied by Pepper, as if they were not under any experiment. The fact that they actually are will obviously affect their behavior. Yet, we hope that not being recorded and being under a non-invasive experiment will help them not to stress out and may make them live their life as normally as possible.
32		-The tasks performed during the evaluation by Pepper, by the PwD, and by Pepper and the PwD together, will be decided in consultation with the HPC (and potentially the relatives) based on the needs of each patient.

35	35
36	36	We are planning to make behavioral and emotional measurements.
37		-Behavioral measurements are the actions that the PwD is going to perform during the week, so it can be considered as subjective quantitative data. This will involve the relatives, the HPC, and the PwD themselves to quantify whether the use of Pepper did actually result in an increase in autonomy for the PwD.
38		-Emotional measurements are more related to the state of mind, change of expression, and mood, so they can be considered as qualitative data. This can be measured by frequent talks with the PwD, either by the relatives or the HPC.
39		-Measures will be done by oral discussions with the PwD, HPC, and relatives.

43	43	The whole experiment process is 4 weeks long, although only weeks 1 and 4 are technically part of the experiment itself.
44		-During week 1, the PwD, the HPC, and the relatives will be asked to pay increased attention. Behavioral and emotional data will be collected. This is a regular week for the PwD, i.e., in the usual situation, except that there is more attention dedicated to them.
45		-During weeks 2 and 3, the PwD, the HPC, and the relatives will be introduced to Pepper, with the goal of getting used to it.
