Virtual Reality Tool for Cognitive Remediation in Older Adults
Overview
As the older population grows, there is a strong focus on finding new ways to support healthy aging. This study explores the use of virtual reality (VR) to help individuals with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). Our goal is to see if this innovative approach can be practical and effective.
Study Design
We will conduct a randomized clinical trial with 30 participants over 65 years old diagnosed with MCI. They will be divided into two groups:
- Experimental Group: Will receive a 3-month cognitive remediation program using immersive VR, with two 60-minute sessions each week, supervised by healthcare professionals.
- Control Group: Will continue with standard medical care without the VR intervention.
Assessing Feasibility
We will evaluate the program’s feasibility by looking at:
- Dropout rates and participant satisfaction
- Side effects
- Quality of life and cognitive function improvements
Expected Outcomes
Our findings will be shared in peer-reviewed journals and at international conferences, aiming to influence future studies on preventing cognitive decline.
