TDP01: Displaying the Schedule

The  Humanoid Robot has to process basic decision-making within the interaction of a Person with Dementia and possibly display the appropriate schedule. The schedule is upkept by the patient themselves as well as the Nurses/ Caregiver Personnel (for scheduled health services) before any display interaction. Stopping the interaction preemptively is part of the display functionality as a strategy to give more independence to the patients.

All actors (humanoid robot, patient) are co-located. The schedule-making is not part of this Team Design Pattern.

1. PwD initiates interaction
2. Robot gives an option for further interaction, and schedule display.
3. PwD makes a decision on will to engage;
   1. if they do not want to engage, the Robot reacts without judgement and moves from the current position in the scene, back to the original state (restart Scene A: Displaying the Schedule)
4. Robot displays the appropriate schedule and walks PwD through it.
5. Robot initiates scene B if pre-requisites for the scene are met (see Scene B: Adding extra activities with PwD);
   1. if the pre-requisites are not met the scene is restarted from the beginning (restart Scene A: Displaying the Schedule).

• Patient: Communicate willingness to proceed with the interaction.

• RQ01.0: Personalise engagement based on willingness (stop/start)
• RQ02.0: Show the PwD's scedule
• RQ03.0: Clearly communicate the scedule verbally
• RQ04.0: Switch between functions (scenes)

+ Offload of Nurse/ Caregiver Personnel repetitive interaction of reminding patients of their schedule so that (s)he can concentrate on other aspects of their jobs.

 - The schedule display is limited in seeing mistakes and making corrections, possibly leading to the miscommunication of actual tasks happening.

Status: Proto Pattern.
