How VR can help dementia patients

One of Tribemix emotional video shows how VR can help people with dementia.

In the video you can see how the older people are very overwhelmed by the VR experience in a positive sense. They can almost hardly believe what they are experiencing with VR. "It's magical. It's beautiful." rave some. Others feel transported back to familiar places. One elderly lady even starts singing and another says, after she has already taken the glasses off again, that she still feels what it was like to be there.

By taking the dementia patients in the VR to peaceful places like a beach or a forest, the application gave them peace and a significantly better mood. Even after the application, the mood was sustainably improved.

A nice example of how VR can brighten up the lives of immobile, sick and especially elderly people for a short but lasting while.

Whether in the Neurosurgery, Pain therapy, Physiotherapy or Anxiety therapy (e.g. also Fear of flying) - VR offers extremely many new possibilities in medicine and nursing.
