Abstract
Progressive memory loss is the hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease. This memory loss has a profound impact on the activities of daily living (ADL) of people with this condition. ADL exercises are essential for maintaining the skills of people with Alzheimer’s disease in order to expand their presence at home. But such exercises require a huge personalization to be adapted to each people with Alzheimer’s disease. In this article, we report the approach and the solutions we have adopted to set up digital workshops around ADL by “personalizing” the solutions adapting the content and functionalities of the application to the specific characteristics of each Patient. This solution has been elaborated with the collaboration of caregivers of a day-care center. We put into practice a participatory design process adapted to Patients with Alzheimer’s disease. The design effort is essentially at the level of choosing the best possible representation of objects and actions to digitize the workshops.
