In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Virtual Reality and Video Chat for Alzheimer Disease and 6 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 186 participants across 27 sites.

Detailed Summary

The purpose of this project is to test the impact of different forms of technology (virtual reality vs. video chat) on quality of life and family relationships in older adults who reside in senior living communities and an adult child who lives at a distance. The study will also investigate whether responses to the technology and quality of life outcomes depend on older adults' level of cognitive impairment.
