| 1 | |**Upside**|The system should help with building interest by story-telling, or playing some music which motivates the user to perform daily activities, like eating meals which they may not be motivated to do. The AI system could also help in placating the patient in case of anxiousness. This might help in building a sense of trust and mutual understanding between the humans and the system. | ||
| 2 | |**Downside**|((( | ||
| 3 | The system needs constant inputs and feedback to improve and learn the requirements of the patients. This requires data collection on a constant basis, and raises questions on the privacy of the human users. | ||
| 4 | |||
| 5 | The system could be perceived as annoying, intrusive and interrupting. This could lead to worsening of the mood swings of the patients. | ||
| 6 | |||
| 7 | Long term use could lead to heavy dependence on the system, and the users may not be able to function without the system (reminders, motivation etc), when the system is not present (ex, taken down for maintenance or upgradation).~*~* | ||
| 8 | |||
| 9 | If caregivers rely too much on the AI system, they may disregard the benefits of human touch and care, which could lead to negative consequences for the patient.~*~* | ||

| 11 | //~*~* These are long term effects, which may not be measurable in the time frame of this course.// | ||

| 17 | - Implicit feedback through usage patterns of patients. Measure using a mood graph with a threshold value to quantify a mood. | ||
| 18 | |||
| 19 | Since the person is likely to have some sense of mobility and is in control of their choices, the system could understand the patient's (Georgina's) mood based on her choice of stories. | ||
| 20 | |||
| 21 | - Explicit feedback from caregivers | ||
| 22 | |||
| 23 | The system could ask the caregivers to enter a Yes/No for whether each task was performed. For example, did the patient take medicine after being reminded? Or did the patient eat their meal happily? | ||
| 24 | |||
| 25 | - To find the dependency of the users on the system, the system could be taken down for a day or two. The caregiver (Eleana) could aid the patient instead and then answer questions on whether she was able to effectively perform tasks otherwise automated by the AI system | ||
