Clinical Trial 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.
