Offering Outworld Experiences to In-Patients With Dementia Through Virtual Reality: Mixed Methods Study.

Background: Research has suggested that institutionalization can increase the behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia. To date, recent studies have reported a growing number of successful deployments of virtual reality for people with dementia to alleviate behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia and improve quality of life. However, virtual reality has yet to be rigorously evaluated, since the findings are still in their infancy, with nonstatistically significant and inconclusive results.

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.
