Summary

Many residents from establishments for dependent elderly people (EHPAD) have memory disorders with behavioural problems such as agitation, aggression and anxiety, which make it difficult to assist them on a daily basis.

Studies have proven the beneficial effect of the therapeutic seal robot PARO® in behavioural disorders. The present project aims to complement these data with a medico-economic study. At present, the only study of this type has been carried out in Australia, and is not transposable to France.
