“Transported to a better place”
Non-pharmacological interventions for people with dementia are of great importance. • Virtual Reality found to enhance symptom management in people with dementia. • Virtual Reality found to improve the quality of life of people with dementia. • Virtual Reality was found to be a possible solution for pain management. Emerging research supports that institutionalisation may contribute to the development of the behavioural and psychological symptoms…
Affective Out-World Experience via Virtual Reality for Older Adults Living with Mild Cognitive Impairments or Mild Dementia
Older adults with cognitive impairments may face barriers to accessing experiences beyond their physical premises. Previous research has suggested that missing out on emotional experiences may affect mental health and impact cognitive abilities. In recent years, there has been growing research interest in designing non-pharmacological interventions to improve the health-related quality of life of older adults. With virtual reality offering endles…
“Bring me sunshine, bring me (physical) strength”
People living with Dementia (PwD) are amongst the most vulnerable populations in society, often depending on caregivers for their quality of life (QoL). Emerging research confirms the need for technological solutions to support non-pharmacological interventions that can enhance the QoL of PwD. This paper posits that Virtual Reality (VR) is a useful technology for boosting the physical training of PwD. In a study with PwD, we compared the conventi…
Now i can see me” designing a multi-user virtual reality remote psychotherapy for body weight and shape concerns
Recent years have seen a growing research interest towards designing computer-assisted health interventions aiming to improve mental health services. Digital technologies are becoming common methods for diagnosis, therapy, and training. With the advent of lower-cost VR head-mounted-displays (HMDs) and high internet data transfer capacity, there is a new opportunity for applying immersive VR tools to augment existing interventions. This study is a…
