Reducing Loneliness of Older Adults in Long Term Care Facilities Through Collaborative Augmented Realities

Vanderbilt University·interventional·Posted Dec 21, 2023·Updated May 6, 2026

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating HMD AR and 2-D AV for Loneliness. Completed, enrolled 16 participants across 1 site.

Detailed Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to test the use of head-mounted display (HMD) augmented reality (AR) in older adults residing in communities or assisted care facilities. The main questions it aims to answer are: what is the feasibility, acceptability, and satisfaction of HMD AR vs two-dimensional audio-video communication? Older adults and their designated family member will complete HMD AR activities in 8 session visits over 4 weeks. Researchers will compare HMD AR to 2-D audio-visual (AV) comparison group on feasibility, acceptability, and satisfaction with the interactive communication technology.
