1		-At the start of the project, we did a general brainstorm to see what main problems of people with dementia are. It was quite insightful learning about the problems people with dementia have and how nurses and family current support in it. We picked specifically for the problem that people with early stage dementia are prone to forget recent events. The goal of dementia care is to keep the quality of life as high as possible. Forgetting events, especially in relationships, can cause a lot of distress and social awkwardness. That why we've chosen to support people with dementia by providing a help system for retrieving these memories.

4		-At first I was quite sceptical about the use of a robot for this. It seems like an unneccesairy complexity for a solution that could just work like a smart speaker. However, over de week i've noticed that people act differently around robots. Somehow, the life like form makes us relate more to the system. We are more likely to also ask: How are you? It shows that we feel like there is more there than just a system to serve us. It creates a personal connection which seem to hold much value.

7	7	In designing the system, many questions arose. How should we get the relationship information? Should the person with dementia always be able to make changes to it? Or should it be locked to stop incorrect information from entering this database? Should it lie to avoid distress? This also has giving me a lot of insights into the complexity of dementia treatment and creating a software/robotics solution for it.
