45	45	|RQ007|Alert caretakers|In the event that the system is unable to keep the person with dementia in, a sort of back up plan is required. As the capabilities of the robot are limited and it is unwise to have it accompany or follow the person with dementia, the best option here is to delegate the task to someone that is more capable of such actions and knows the person with dementia well - the care taker. To do this delegation, the system would need some sort of alert or notification it can send to the caretaker.

48		-|RQ006|Play music|Music is a powerful tool when dealing with people with dementia. It can help them get in the mood for certain activities through association, as well as subtly bring them back to reality. In order to leverage these positive effects, it would be good for the system to have a way through which it can play music to the people trying to leave.
49	49	|RQ005|Associate certain concepts with related concepts|When convincing a person with dementia to stay inside, the system might need to come up with a good argument against whatever action the person with dementia has to go out. In order to provide a good counterargument, the system will need to know what reasons could be used. This means the robot needs some basic understanding of what factors are important in certain behaviours.

50	50	|RQ008|Use gestures for non-verbal communication|People with dementia may have problems understanding the system. In order to aid them in this process, it is likely beneficial if the system utilizes gestures to convey its message. This could be simple gestures such as meaningless hand movements to keep the person focussed, to crossing arms to emphasise a "no".

53	53	|RQ002|Recognize people in the care home|In order to make the music and conversation more effective, these may need to be personalised to some extent. For example, it might be good to address the person with dementia by their name to make the conversation feel more personal. Besides this, certain music might have different associations in different people, meaning that different songs may be more effective for one person than for the other. Such customisations would probably improve the likability and effectivity of the robot. Besides personalisation, the system may need to distinguish between people with dementia and care takers.
	54	+|RQ009|Recognize emotions|It is very much possible for users to become agitated when using the system. It would be good for the system to act on this accordingly. In order to do so, the first step is to recognise the emotion of the person. This could be done through analysis of non-verbal communication, verbal signals such as certain words or speech-related factors such as intonation. Handling users differently based on their emotional state might yield better results.

56	56	|RQ005-1|Learn associations between different concepts|RQ005 specifies that the system will know certain associations. However, these are relatively simple, and do not allow for great flexibility. If the system is able to learn new associations over time, this means that counterarguments need not be predetermined, but can be automatically generated by the system. This way, it becomes more effective over time through the use of more appropriate counter arguments.
