Cognitive – Adaptation – Behavior: Playing with Patients Suffering from Alzheimer's DiseaseIn 2019, Professor Philippe Robert's project to assess the impact of board games on the relationship between patients suffering from Alzheimer's disease or related conditions and their caregivers or family members was selected in the first call for projects launched by Game in Lab. This project highlighted interesting results for both institutions and families, leading to the development of the Access+ range, a collection of board games designed to be accessible and adapted for individuals with cognitive impairments.
