Summary

This study tests a new kind of talk therapy called Smart Virtual Reminiscence (SVR) for older adults with mild cognitive impairment or early dementia. The therapy uses artificial intelligence to guide conversations about past memories, aiming to reduce troubling symptoms like agitation, anxiety, and depression. Researchers will enroll 60 participants to see if the therapy improves well-being and lowers the need for emergency care.
