Subject Ideas (Brainstorm)

Subject

• Speech recognition systems.
• Make students aware of how much they use their screen (/ limit their screentime)
  • Using eyetracking (?)
• Pill dispenser for elderly
• Help robots for elderly
• Music and dementia → Robot that measures when someone with dementia gets stressed (with a wristband e.g.) and puts on music from their youth when this is the case

Objectives

The main objective of this research is to find a way to calm dementia patients down when they are feeling stressed. It is quite common for people with dementia to be distressed, which can be caused by feeling disoriented, having unmet needs, as well as many other factors (Coping with distress - Dementia UK). It has been found that music interventions lower anxiety levels and generally make patients (and even caregivers) feel more relaxed (Impacts of Music Intervention on Dementia: A Review Using Meta-Narrative Method and Agenda for Future Research). That is why music will be implemented in the design not alleviate stress In order to further assess what we want our design to achieve we will be using the MoSCoW method.

Must have

• A calming effect on the patient
• A stress sensor of some kind to determine when the music should be turned on

Should have

• Music from the patients youth
• Comfortability (if the stress sensor is wearable)

Could have

• A calming effect on the caregiver
• Slowly increase volume to limit the shock
• A wearable stress sensor, e.g. using HRV in the same way that a watch measures stress [1]
• A stress sensor based on sound

Will not have

• Scaring the patient by sudden loud music

Approach, milestones and deliverables

Approach

Overall plan, steps, etc.

Start by doing a literature study. We want to make/ build a prototype and then interview healthcare workers on their opinions on our idea.

Milestones

What are the big checkpoints, so how long will we be working on each section e.g.

Week 1	Week 2	Week 3	Week 4	Week 5	Week 6	Week 7
13/02 Mail with topic and group		Start on prototype*		Interview healthcare workers on prototype*	Prepare presentation	Presentation
Set up project
Search and summarize 25 research papers

We will think of more after our first meeting, however these are our milestones for now

*rough estimate in planning

Deliverables

What we will be handing in (so are we making a prototype, literature study, etc.)

Planning

Taakverdeling (is this needed when we have a log book?)

State of the art

Literature study with at least 25 relevant papers

Log Book

Add the hours of work you spent in a week, what tasks you worked on and how long those subtasks took inside of your own table. Per week we should be able to see the total and there will also be a grand total at the end of the project.
