34 34  We also discussed in detail about our personas and their associated value stories, in order to inform our design decisions better. 
35 35  Then we were introduced to scenario-based design and its benefits in reflecting the current situation (problem scenario) and the envisioned future (design scenario). We used our personas and value stories to formulate the problem and design scenario which would then be formalized into our main Use Case.

37 -We focused on defining our environment and stakeholders and further developing our personas and enhancing the problem and design scenarios for the rest of the week. Building the scenarios helped me to reflect on the reasons why we were building a human-robot interaction system in the first place, and allowed for visualizing how we would want the interactions to flow.

58 -My teammates presented the Foundation and Specification of our project. Our presentation was focused on detailing the environment, stakeholders, and persons for our system. We further dived into our problem and design scenarios, and our design plan for a robotic intervention for people with dementia through interactive storytelling, backed by scientific sources. The question/answer session helped provide a third-person view of how our design was perceived by others and how we could improve it. We got valuable feedback for the presentation, specially around designing our evaluation study for what was feasible for our scope.

71 -This week we learnt about Team Design Patterns and Interaction Design Patterns which provided important concepts and tools for designing the interactions between actors for our system.

74 -We explored the design questions for our system that would help address a general, broader issue. We also focused on supporting our design decisions with scientific theory and argumentation to fortify our design rationale.

77 -We worked on building the IDP by exploring how the different actors in our scenario could and should interact with each other. This shaped the TDP for our main use case of the interactive storytelling session. Through this process, I learnt the importance of pattern-based design in identifying recurrent/generalizable problems within a context and defining structured descriptions for the solution to it.

82 -We also learnt about how evaluations should be planned for our prototype. The purpose of the evaluations is to assess the claims at the task level and check the usability of the interaction design. We were introduced to various approaches, like qualitative analysis to formulate hypothesis and quantitative analysis to test the hypothesis.
83 83  
84 -We explored the formative and summative evaluations that could be conducted for our system. We decided to focus on the summative evaluation to assess the overall effects of the system. Also, a formative evaluation would not have been feasible within the limited time.

86 -For our measurements and metrics, we used the Godspeed questionnaire for a standardized assessment of our robotic agent. It address factors like being interactive, inert, animate, etc which were relevant for our use case. For the effects, we prioritized measuring the following: the mood of the patient post activity (subjective) and whether the patient finished their meal and in how much time (objective). However, we identified that due to the practical issue of not being able to test with actual dementia patients, the objective measures would not be collected accurately.
