The survey was conducted in a structured and/or less-structured way [12, 14], the latter one allowing the users to answer in an open-ended format. A limitation to this is that qualitative research is difficult to generate concrete results, with significant interpretation of responses being required. Several studies focusing on the use of social robots for older adults with cognitive impairment heavily relied on caregiver review, depending on the severity of the user’s impairment [54]. In one study, a teleoperated robot\ was used to assess the worsening or stabilization of user’s symptoms given interaction with the robot operated by different personnel, finding the severe dementia symptoms for some users did not worsen following the interaction" - Daniel et al

	3	+It is important to take the setting into account. A robot might behave differently in an individual or a group setting and the needs of a patients are highly dependent on the current stage of dementia. In research done into independent elderly with a robot with a mainly social purpose has led to great effects and indicates that a social robots with a focus on individual use cases that pay attention to their feelings provide a high value to a patient.

	5	+Most research is done on very short time intervals from around 15 to 60 minutes, with only some rare cases where the robots where used for multiple months by one person. Most research people are only shown pictures of video of the robot rather than working with robots, meaning that their results may not accurately reflect the acceptance of the users. Having longer personal one-one interactions with the robots at a care home or residency is an important step that needs to be taken to get a better idea of how the robot actually performs.
