Modelling and Simulation of Alzheimer's Disease Scenarios

Dealing with Alzheimer's Disease is an open problem within the ageing population context. While clinical solutions arrive, actions for improving the quality of the daily living of these patients are needed. Which solutions these can be is something experts can discuss and engineers can develop. To facilitate such discussion, and enabling a low cost experimentation of the alternatives, the paper proposes computer simulations reproducing the daily activities and the interplay of users and assisting solutions. This paper contributes with examples of such simulations and discusses how real solutions can be built upon them in the case of Alzheimer's. The work has been developed with the PHAT/SociAALML framework and the code is available online for interested researchers.
