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 and strengthen her relationship with her grandchildren (taking them to the park etc.). 

Bob is 80 and has anger issues and likes to collect coins, has Korsakoff syndrome. He likes to go the park to do some light work-out so that he mediates to blow off steam, tends to not be nice to caretakers. 

Value story: Bob, as a person with Korsakoff, wants to be able to go to the park to workout and to support the lowering of his anger levels. 

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. 

General 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. 

For Bob: As a caregiver I want Bob to be able to enjoy his workout when he needs them and not on a strict schedule, to support him in managing his anger and protecting my own mental health sometimes. 

- Family members of PwD (Maria)

General 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. 

Laura and Lara: Wants to spend more time with her children in the weekend and wants to give Maria the opportunity to go on walks by herself, trusting that it happens safely and satisfies Maria's needs. 

- 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. 

- Other actors in traffic

Value story: As a person who also participates in traffic, I want to safely navigate the streets and not get distracted, to help support me calmly and safely arrive at my destination.
