-In light of our research question, we found no notable disparities between the stand-alone application and the robot. The results may be influenced by the experimental setup. While we aimed to emulate a real-world scenario for participants to perform the tasks, their pre-existing digital device proficiency could have played a role. The participants may have had prior experience with using similar applications or robots, which could have affected their performance and perception of the two groups. Nevertheless, given that people with dementia likely have limited knowledge of utilizing mobile devices, we maintain a positive outlook on the potential efficacy of the visual-audio aid provided by the robot to enhance the experience of PwDs utilizing the application. |

However, given that people with dementia likely have limited knowledge of utilizing mobile devices, we maintain a positive outlook on the potential efficacy of the visual-audio aid provided by the robot to enhance the experience of PwDs utilizing the application beacuase a noticeable improvement can be observed in the empowerment attribute, as participants reported feeling more independent and less isolated. |
