2. Stakeholders

Stakeholders in terms of the guidance robot (without the envisioned technology): 

Direct: 

- PwD, people with dementia:

Maria wants to go walking on her own. Maria has light dementia and diabetes and can get confused navigating her environment on her own. Maria also likes knitting as a hobby.

(It is important to note that the robot will not replace human-assisted walks entirely)

Value story: Maria, as a person with dementia, wants to be able to regularly go to the park on her own to support her independence, autonomy, and mental health. 

Bob...

Indirect: 

- Caretakers at the elderly care facility. Caretakers generally have a lot to do at the center so smaller tasks of less importance can perhaps save time. 

Value story: As a caregiver, I want to have more time for more complicated tasks that require human attention, to support my performance and efficiency. 

- Family members of PwD (Maria)

Value story: As a family member, I want to give Maria the opportunity to move around more freely and visit the park on her own (also save time on taking her on walks every day), to support the trust that she is in good care and is content. 

- ICT-department 

Value story: As a person in the ICT department, I want to implement my knowledge, and provide help and tools to support residents/caregivers ability to safely and effectively use new technology.
