Grandkids and goggles: new study aims to get seniors moving with immersive tech
NCT ID NCT07112638
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study explores whether a program co-created by older adults, their families, students, and experts can improve movement patterns in people aged 65 and older. The program uses immersive technology (like virtual reality) and intergenerational activities to reduce sedentary time and increase physical activity. Researchers will track changes in movement, loneliness, quality of life, and more over 12 months. The goal is to learn what works best to keep older adults active and independent.
