2 -**The positive effects that could potentially come from our design are:**
2 +E1.1 Autonomy; the design will make the people with dementia more independent, as they will be able to go on a walk whenever they want. They will not be waiting for the caregivers or family members to take them.

4 +E1.2 Health; the design will be beneficial for the health of PwD as it will motivate them to move more often and go outside. Physical exercise and movement stimulates the physical and mental health

6 +E1.3E Social contact; the robot will be a social company to the PwD, hence they will not feel lonely when they go on a walk. The robot will have a conversation with them optimally about that person's interests.

8 +E1.4 Fulfillment; they will be able to go outside on their own without having to wait for someone else and taking his/her time. They will feel less of a burden and more freely. This hopefully gives them a sense of their "normal", "old", life they are used to continuing.

14 -**E1.6 Increase in motivation to be active;** the robot checks whether the PwD has enough activity over time and then starts motivating the PwD to go on a walk. Taking more walks will increase the amount of activity for the PwD

17 -**E2.1 Ignoring or misunderstanding the prompts;** PwD ignoring the prompts of the robot. This is always a possibility that the prompts or things that the robot says to PwD go ignored, for example, directions of where to go could go ignored. In these cases, we have to consider what exactly would be done in these instances. Also the prompt might be confusing or be misunderstood due to the dementia.

19 -**E2.2 Prompts are perceived as annoying;** this could happen in settings when the patient is asked too many times if they know where they are going, if prompts are improperly timed or if the patient is reminded too often about something. Therefore it is worth considering when exactly prompts should be deployed and whether or not direction prompts are needed if the PwD is following the correct path already.

21 -**E2.3 PwD feels forced; **monitoring the activity of the PwD and trying to motivate the PwD many times might make the PwD feel that he/she is being forced to go on the activity. The person might think that he/she cannot say no.

23 -**E2.4 Potential hardware issues; **we need to consider problems that might make our system act wrongfully because sensors or other hardware components don't work the way they should. For example, because of weather conditions, the microphone not taking up speech properly because of noise, or a particular way in which PwD could potentially talk.
