Summary

This study tests whether an 8-week virtual reality program combining mindfulness, thinking exercises, and physical activity can improve memory, attention, and emotional well-being in older women who live alone and have low income. About 80 women aged 65 and older will take part. The goal is to see if this fun, group-based approach can help reduce the effects of social isolation on the brain.
