Summary

Safety and environmental engagement are critical aspects of dementia care, influencing patients' quality of life and well-being. Reverie VR offers virtual reality experiences designed to enhance environmental engagement while maintaining safety for dementia patients.

The Importance of Environmental Engagement in Dementia Care

Engaging with the environment can stimulate cognitive functions, improve mood, and promote physical activity in dementia patients. However, safety concerns often limit such interactions.

How VR Enhances Environmental Engagement Safely

Reverie VR provides controlled virtual environments that allow patients to interact safely:

• Simulated Outdoor Experiences: Patients can explore virtual gardens, parks, or cityscapes without physical risks. 

• Interactive Scenarios: Engaging activities within VR can promote cognitive stimulation and environmental interaction. 

• Personalised Settings: Customisable environments cater to individual preferences, enhancing comfort and engagement. 

Scientific Evidence Supporting VR for Safety and Engagement

Research supports the use of VR in providing safe environmental engagement:

1. Virtual Reality Therapy: VR has been used to manage pain and anxiety, factors that can interfere with sleep, suggesting its potential to improve sleep quality indirectly. 

2. Video Game Rehabilitation: Interactive VR systems have been shown to enhance physical activity, which can promote better sleep in older adults. 

3. Virtual Reality Applications: The use of VR in therapy has been associated with improved mental health outcomes, which are closely linked to sleep quality.
