If they are in the safe comfort of their care home, there is no way they wil get wrapped up in dangerous or stressful situations outdoors. This could prevent both physical and mental injuries, and can thus be considered a very positive effect. 8 8 |CL02|+|The user's mood is improved|As the system will be as friendly and helpful as possible, an annoyed person with dementia may be relieved after talking to it. The music used may also bring about positive emotions in the minds of the people interacting with it. 9 9 |CL08|+|The user is subtly brought back to reality|If a person with dementia is in a mentally disoriented state, the system will try to subtly remind them of their current situation. This is done through hints at the caretaker, someone they know who is purely associated with the care home, but also through music and alternative activities. This may not have a large effect on all people, but should be enough to bring some of them back to reality. 10 -|CL09|-|The user feels they are losing their freedom|In cases where a person with dementia is not brought back to reality, they might feel like they are being kept in against their will.

For example, if someone who dislikes puzzles gets told to do a puzzle, they may be very reluctant. If they see the caretakers as somehow evil, they might even feel like they are being tattled on by something that is supposed to be their robot friend. This is not good for their attitude regarding the system. The first problem could potentially be solved by using preference profiles for each person in the care home, but the other one is more difficult to deal with as the caretaker plays an important role in keeping the person with dementia safe. 12 12 |CL10|-|The user feels dependent on others|When a person with dementia wants to take a walk, they are allowed to, but under the supervision of a caretaker. As a result, they might feel like they cannot take a walk without said caretaker, and feel helplessly dependent on them. This can decrease their sense of autonomy and affect their mental state negatively, but there is unfortunately no effective way to counteract it. 13 13
