Measurements

For each positive and negative effect listed in step 3, describe how you could evaluate (measure) whether they actually occur.

- Memory accuracy. The effect will be achieved when the patient is able to accurately recognizes relatives with the robot's help.

- Social connection. The effect will be achieved when the patient has contact with relatives frequently.

- (Better) Quality of conversations. The effect will be achieved when the patient is able to talk about things mentioned in previous conversations.

- Reduce emotional stress. The effect will be achieved when the patient expresses his/her stress-free status or is observed by relatives and doctors around.

- Better relative attitude. The effect will be achieved when relatives are willing to have conversations with the patient.

Lack of privacy. The effect will be achieved when the information about both the patient and relatives is not securely stored and can easily be accessed by others.

Irritation. The effect will be achieved when the robot reminds the patient of things he/she still remembers frequently.

Misinformation. The effect will be achieved when the information stored in the robot is incorrect, such as misconceptions about a relative.

Benchmark

For each measurement, what are the benchmarks (criteria)? (i.e., what are desired values?)

- Memory accuracy. The patient can call relatives' names correctly in 80% of conversations.

- Social connection. The patient contacts relatives three times a week and reviewed daily news every morning.

- (Better) Quality of conversations. The patient can mention previous experience and chat happily in 80% of conversations.

- Reduce emotional stress. The patient self-reports his/her emotional status positively in the questionnaire. 

- Better relative attitude. Relatives self-report their positive attitude about chatting with the patient in the questionnaire or in informal chats with doctors. Besides, relatives are willing to contact the patient three times a week.

Lack of privacy. People other than the patient, relatives and the doctor in charge are able to access the information stored in the robot.

Irritation. When the robot reminds the patient of things he/she remembers two times a day, we can assume the patient will irritate. In other cases, the patient self-reports his/her irritation.

Misinformation. The information stored in the robot is not correct.
