1 -- What are the needs of PwDs and relatives?
1 +Technology is nowadays everywhere in our life, bringing information, support and enjoyment. However, for elderly people or PwDs, the normal modes of technology (through smartphones or laptops) are harder to access and use due to their decreased mental and physical capabilities. [1] shows that using a social robot can improve the PwDs interaction with technology through their intuitive human-like interactions. Moreover, they also show that interacting with robots through song, games or other activities enhanced their positive experiences.

3 +In [2], several needs and results arise through the long term trials applied in the caring home.
