15 -Targeted for elderly residents of Pieter Van Foreest suffering from dementia

17 -The ReJAM project is designed to stimulate the patients socially, cognitively, affectively, and physically through music-related activities
18 -
19 -Some examples of activities:
20 -
21 -- Playing the patient's favourite music and asking them if it reminds them of something (reminiscence)
22 -
23 -- Asking the patient to follow the robot's movement to dance along with it (physical rehab)
24 -
25 -- Playing music bingo (memory practice)
26 -
27 -The robot would also act as a social actor and be a companion to the elderly patients by chatting with them, singing songs together, playing games, etc

39 -Formed teams and discussed a possible use case for developing a system of robot intervention for aiding a Person with Dementia (PwD). We learnt about the different robots available for the project - Nao, Pepper, and Miro.

41 -My team and I decided to focus on mealtime, especially during dinner when a PwD at the moderate stage of dementia suffers from confusion, anxiety and irritability due to Sundown Syndrome. We created three personas to develop our use-case scenario - Georgina (the PwD), Eleana (formal caretaker), and Sam (family member). After discussions within the team, we decided that the Pepper robot would be the best suited for our use case as it can narrate stories and display pictures on the screen attached to its torso. While both Nao and Pepper are humanoid robots capable of holding conversations, we decided to stick with Pepper as our use case did not require too much movement by the robot, and the height of the Pepper robot was also better suited for this use case such that it could stand in front or around the PwD while narrating the story.
