TDP02: Schedule Activity with PwD

Last modified by Ioana Raducanu on 2025/04/24 18:19
ProblemThe  Humanoid Robot has to process basic decision-making within the interaction of a Person with Dementia and possibly adapt the schedule (where interaction is directiy ). The schedule is also upkept further by the patient themselves as well as the Nurses/ Caregiver Personnel (for scheduled health services) beyond the design process of this course.

Solution Description

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

  1. Robot runs algorithm to see if any additional scheduled activities fit within PwD's schedule.
    1. if nothing no extention is possible, move to   Scene A: Displaying the Schedule.
  2. Robot displays the possible adaptation in the scedule and gives the option to accept or deny joining the activity.
  3. PwD makes a decision to participate;
    1. if they do not want to participate, the Robot reacts without judgement and moves to   Scene A: Displaying the Schedule.
  4. Robot reacts by communicating and displaying the change in schedule.
  5. Robot moves to initial state of  Scene A: Displaying the Schedule
Human RQ
  • Patient: Communicate willingness to accept or deny any suggested activity.
Machine RQ
Consequences

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

+ Increase the independence of the patient by promoting activities and engagement, as well as allowing them to chose their scedule

 - The scheduling display is limited by what activities are happening in the care center and no dynamic activities such as doing something between two patients are now considered.

Grounding

Status: Proto Pattern.
