4		-Several non-pharmacological interventions to prevent people with dementia from wandering already exist. By engaging PwD in social activities, navigation and monitoring technology, or environmental modifications, it has been tested in studies, if PwD could be prevented from wandering and getting lost [1]. However, not all of these methods seem successful or harmless (e.g. thinking of tracking systems).
5		-Especially activities related to music have a positive effect on the mood and emotion of PwD. Certain music or songs can trigger mutual, emotional memories [2]. Therefore, it is not far-fetched to take advantage of these positive effects and also use music to keep people from wandering. Lancioni et. al. (2011) found out, that during activities like coloring or listening to music, PwDs tend to start wandering less than if they did not perform these activities [3]. Non the less, these social activities can not reliably prevent wandering at all times. In case the activities do not distract PwD enough and he/she still heads to the exit door, these methods are powerless to prevent them from leaving.

7		-In the study of Lancioni et. al. (2011), music was used as a distraction activity. In our project, we are going to make use of the positive effects of music as well but in a different way. In our case, the music should not avoid the original thought of going out, but deflect when the person comes up with that thought. This means, that the person is trying to leave the care home, but will be interrupted at the door. At this point the music is used to take their mind off leaving.

9		-**Aim of the use of music**
10		-What we want to achieve with music are in general two things:
11		-1. Distract from the original idea to leave the house
12		-1. Remind the Person, that there is no reason to leave the house
	8	+In our project, we are going to make use of the positive effects on mood and emotion of music as well. The difference is, that the music
	9	+will only be used in the case a person is already trying to leave.

14		-The first goal can be achieved by introducing certain activities that are related to music, e.g. dancing. The robot starts playing dancing music and invites to join for a dance. By executing this task the PwD is distracted and not longer thinking about leaving.
15		-Another possibility to use music is to remind the person of their surroundings and situation. Some patients don't concider the nursing house as their home. If a certain song is connected to a room in the care home, this brings the patient back to reality and reminds of being in the care home. This could be a song they normally sing before lunch, the opening song from their yoga lesson or just a short jingle of their favorite tv program.
