Résumé en anglais

The objective of the present study was to evaluate the interest of an assistance robot to help caregivers manage the activities of daily living of institutionalized elderly people with Alzheimer's disease. Twenty-three institutionalized persons (60% women; average age 89; average MMSE score of 20.8) with Alzheimer Disease (AD) were recruited and invited to participate in prospective memory exercise sessions, conducted either by a caregiver or by a robot (assisted by a caregiver). They were divided into two groups equivalent in age, level of education and MMSE score. In addition, the sessions were recorded in order to compare the interaction behaviors of the 2 groups, using a validated observation grid. The results showed that: 1) prospective memory tasks are better performed when offered by the caregiver; 2) when strong help linked to the recovery index is provided to perform the tasks, the robot or caregiver no longer show significant differences; 3) participants interact more with the caregiver than with the robot. Our results confirm that the use of companion robots is a promising way to help caregivers manage the daily activities of people with Alzheimer's. However, to optimize this assistance, further investigations should be conducted to improve the fluidity of interactions between the patient and the robot.< Réduire
