1 -**Environment(s)**
1 +== Overview ==
2 2  
3 -Who is it for?
4 4  
5 -* people who have early-stage dementia.
4 +**Who is the main subject? **
6 6  
7 -When could NAO assist someone with early-stage dementia?
6 +* People medically diagnosed with early-stage dementia (henceforth, person with dementia; PwDs).
8 8  
9 -* NAO will take the role of an assistant.
10 -* NAO can interact with someone continuously throughout the day.
11 -* NAO can for example remind people with their schedule, ensure that people stay in touch with their relatives, and be able to interact with its user by having conversation.
8 +**What are the PwD's goals?**
12 12  
13 -So in what Environment can NAO be implemented?
10 +* The PwD's goal is to alleviate stress & anxiety when dealing with memory loss and (or, in tandem with) social interactions.
11 +* The PwD's goal is also to connect with memories, relationships and personal data, forgotten by way of memory loss.
14 14  
15 -* In the home of people with early-stage dementia. To be more specific, a room where these people spend most of their day. Idea: connected to Sonos speaker system / Google home to be connected anywhere in the house.
16 -* Implement some sort of learning curve of getting used to the robot.
17 -* It could be weird to wake up and have a talking robot in your house, so we need to think about this...
13 +**How does the design solution (henceforth, the system) help to solve the problems of a PwD with early-stage dementia?**
18 18  
19 -**Activities**
15 +* The system helps the PwD through human interaction.
16 +* The system uses natural conversation and movements to interact and help the PwD.
17 +* The system's physical presence & the qualities of its conversational abilities helps the PwD.
20 20  
21 -Considering previous section, we need to specify on which specific times of the day or during specific events in someone's live the robot can be used. It would help to have the robot "always on", but this can cause a lot of privacy issues (if the robot would have a microphone / camera). We should read literature about the setting on when and where NAO can be used.
19 +**What are the goals of the system?**
22 22  
23 -* When NAO detects that the person with early-stage dementia is present in the room, talk to the person.
24 -* When someone with early-stage dementia is used for NAO to be present, interact when specific questions are asked.
25 -* When someone with early-stage dementia is used for NAO to be present, NAO can come up with questions or start a basic conversation which could lead to reduce anxiety and stress.
26 -* When someone with early-stage dementia gets a visited, NAO can interact in the conversation to reduce anxiety and stress.
21 +* The system's primary goal is to act as a knowledge base of the PwD's personal/familial relationships.
27 27  
28 -
23 +**In what environment can the system be implemented?**
24 +
25 +* The system will be stationed in a room where the PwDs spend most of their day.
26 +* The system also exists in the 'online' world, in the sense that the guardian can access and update the the system's encyclopedia.
27 +
28 +== Activities ==
29 +
30 +
31 +**What activities will be available for the subject by using the system?**
32 +
33 +The subject interacts with the system through natural conversation. This includes:
34 +
35 +* Asking questions
36 +* Answering questions
37 +* Giving commands
38 +* Elaborating on a previous topic
39 +* Saving topics for a later time
40 +* Saving a list of preferences or tasks
