VR Dementia Assessment

March 2023

Against the backdrop of an aging population and the increasing prevalence of dementia-related conditions, there has been a growing imperative to innovate in mental health care.

Recognizing this pressing need, Virtu and FKUI IMERI joined forces to address the challenges faced by senior citizens through the development of a pioneering mental health test VR application. Drawing upon Virtu's proficiency in virtual reality technology and IMERI's expertise in dementia diagnosis, the collaboration aimed to create a solution that could revolutionize the way cognitive function and emotional well-being are assessed in this vulnerable population.

With a focus on simulating real-world scenarios, particularly shopping tasks, the VR application sought to provide a comprehensive evaluation tool that captures a patient's ability to navigate daily activities, thereby enabling more accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment plans.

By combining cutting-edge VR capabilities with IMERI's deep understanding of dementia care, the partnership sought to deliver a user-friendly and impactful tool that could enhance the quality of life for dementia patients and streamline the diagnostic process for healthcare professionals.
