Abstract
This article discusses persistent behaviors emulated on the basis of atypical and recurrent scenarios of daily life, originally developed for the domicile and now extended to health facilities. The pathologic persistence (called also perseveration) in tasks of daily life is a marker of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, and its non-invasive detection can lead to early diagnosis, if it triggers a battery of diagnostic tests based on imaging, clinical neurology and cognitive tests to confirm the suspicion of neuronal degeneration. Finally, the tele-monitoring of daily activity, called actimetric monitoring, allows the detection of abnormal repetitive tasks, and contributes also to the content of a custom folder of health data, which can provide a therapeutic education adapted to the person followed at home.
