132 +After performing the experiment and running various statistical tests on the results obtained, we have made the following conclusions that hopefully answer some of our research questions:

134 +1. We believe that an information support application **DOES IMPROVE** a PwD's well-being, since it can (% style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant: normal; white-space: pre-wrap; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none" %)provide them with access to important information and support, improving their overall quality of life.
135 +1. We believe that a robot assistant **DOES IMPROVE** the experience of a PwD using it. The robot(% style="font-size: 11pt; font-variant: normal; white-space: pre-wrap; font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none" %) can provide companionship and assistance, making them feel independent and less isolated.

We also believe that our research is applicable to mobile agents which increases the accessibility of the solution.
