7.2	4	Several studies about 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 if PwD could be prevented from wandering and getting lost [1].
7.3	5	Especially activities related to music have a positive effect on mood and emotion of PwD. Certain music or songs can trigger mutual, emotional memories [2].
	6	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 time. 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.

7.3	8	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. The difference is, that 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.

7.4	10	Aim of the use of music
	11	What we want to achieve with music are in general two things:
	12	1. Distract from the original idea to leave the house
	13	1. Remind the Person, that there is no reason to leave the house
	14
8.1	15	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.

8.1	17	To remind the person of their surroundings and situation, music can be used as well.
