Enabling adaptive interactions to leverage interventions for people with mild cognitive impairments

Abstract

Dementia is a progressive degenerative brain syndrome that involves memory impairment in older adults caused by damage to brain cells and their connections. One promising tool that has raised from the non pharmacological interventions and is currently being researched and adopted by the researchers for the treatment of cognitive deficits is Virtual Reality (VR). This paper presents a research project related to VR solutions for people with cognitive impairments, its objectives, plan, and scientific contributions.
