1 -The robot wil be deployed in people's private rooms in the care homes. There won't be too much facilities since they will do daytime activities in the common area with a group of people together. People's own rooms have a bed, a bedside table, a TV and two armchairs. All facilities are movable and leave space for the elder to keep safe. When relatives come, they can sit on the armchairs; in other times, patients can put armchair aside and do some non-strenuous exercise. All corners of furniture are wrapped so that even if patients accidentially knock on it, no serious injuries will happen. There are places for notes, showing the basic information that the patient need to remember. Besides, medicine and required items are placed within reachable distance.
1 +If anyone happens to see this, I've listed some characteristics that the environment could have. Please feel free to leave a comment and I'll turn them into a paragraph later.

3 -Supposed to be a small robot, it is about 15cm high and is usualy placed on a table, allowing patients to enter and retrieve information easily. As a result, the bed is customized to have a folding table. Then the table can be put on during the daytime and retracted at night to give the patient enough space to rest.
3 +* There are two scenarios for the robot: the patient's house, and nursing homes or residential care centres.  Since the main goal of the robot is to minimise the impact of memory loss, we expect the patient to enjoy their daily life as everybody else and the former scenario may be the most applicable one. And patients with less serious conditions, may take the robot to travel.
4 +* Both scenarios allow the patient to have their own private rooms.
5 +* (Name) is a small robot, about 15 cm high. Lightweight and portable, it allows the robot to stay with the patient wherever he goes.
6 +* The robot is usually placed on a table, allowing the patient to enter and retrieve information. Therefore, the bed in the care centre or in the patient's home needs special features, such as a folding table, so that the robot can accompany the patient on the table during the daytime and retract it at night to give the patient enough space to rest.
7 +* There is a tablet on the robot where the patient can give feedback and play games to enhance their memory.
