VR boosts brain health knowledge in seniors with early memory loss
NCT ID NCT06888986
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a virtual reality (VR) program could help older adults with mild cognitive impairment learn more about dementia and improve their health skills. 139 participants aged 65 and older were split into two groups: one used a VR health education module, and the other received standard education. The goal was to see if VR could boost dementia knowledge, health literacy, and self-confidence in managing health.
