1		-**Possible environments where a person with dementia could live:**
	1	+**typical environment**
	2	+Usage of robot and sensor in every-day surrounding of elder people with dementia:
2	2
3		-**Environment: Person 1**
4		-In a nursing home where there are 100 other people who have a physical or mental disability and each of them has their own room
	4	+* nursing home
	5	+* day care
	6	+* at home
5	5
6		-**Environment: Person 2**
7		-In a daycare center with 50 other people. He/She is dropped off every day at 8:00h and picked up at 18:00h.
	8	+All these places are inside a building. The surrounding is known to both, robot and patient.
	9	+In case the robot is not able to distract the patient from leaving, a caregiver or family member is nearby.
8	8
9		-**Environment: Person 3**
10		-Lives at home with family. The family consists of their child and spouse along with the two grandchildren.
11	11
12	12	**Requirements for the environment**
13	13
14	14	* reachable door
15		-The room or house has to have a door. The door should never be out of the robot's reach (no loss of connection to sensor, no stairways) so that the robot can always reach the door and help the patient.
	15	+The room or house has to have a door. That door leads outside the patient's room or outside the building, where the patient is not allowed to go (alone). The door should never be out of the robots reach (no lose of connection to sensor, no stairways), so that the robot can always reach the door and help the patient.
16	16
17		-* gate between safe/ unsafe environment for PwD
18		-The door should separate the care home from the 'outside', where the patient is not allowed to go (alone).
	17	+* little 'traffic' through door
	18	+The Robot-Sensor construction might not be helpful in clinical surroundings, since the sensor at the door must be activated every time a person (doctor, nurse, family) leaves the room. In hospital rooms is to much 'traffic'.

21		-For our application, we will focus on Environment 1 and 2
22		-From this follows in our case we need to cover the main entrance and exit of the care center. We will locate the robot inside the building, in front of the door like a Bouncer. This has the advantage that PwDs are still able to walk around in the building but are not allowed to leave their safe environment.

24		-**Objectives**
25		-The objective is to provide care for people with dementia. More specifically, prevent them from wandering around outside of these buildings and getting lost or guide them when they do leave their respective buildings. This can be done by:
26	26
27		-* Assisting the person distracting him/her from leaving the building
28		-* A stimulus that's associated with a location. For example, chirping bird sounds can be associated with a nearby park, thus guiding the person to the park.
29		-* Making the building as inclusive as possible - adding all the person's wants and need so that the person doesn't want to leave the building

32	32
33	33
34		-**Person-oriented approach**
35		-* To enable the people to continue to live their normal life - the life that they've been living
36		-* Take their feelings and experiences into account
37		-* Do not make them feel like they have dementia. So give them the confidence to do daily activities on their own, and provide assistance when necessary
