Summary

Memory loss is a hallmark symptom of dementia, affecting personal identity and daily functioning. Reverie VR utilises gentle visual cues to aid memory recall and provide comfort to individuals with dementia.

The Challenge of Memory Loss in Dementia

Memory loss can lead to confusion, frustration, and a diminished sense of self. Patients may struggle to recognise familiar faces, recall past events, or navigate their environment.

How VR Provides Gentle Visual Cues

Reverie VR offers immersive experiences that can serve as visual prompts:

• Familiar Environments: Virtual visits to recognisable places can trigger memories. 

• Personalised Content: Customisable scenarios tailored to individual histories can enhance memory recall. 

• Sensory Engagement: Multisensory stimulation can reinforce memory pathways. 

Research Supporting VR for Memory Enhancement

Studies have shown the potential of VR in aiding memory:

1. Neuropsychological Rehabilitation (2018): VR-based reminiscence therapy improved autobiographical memory in dementia patients. 

2. Aging & Mental Health (2019): Participants engaging in VR experiences showed enhanced memory recall and mood. 

3. Journal of Clinical Gerontology and Geriatrics (2020): The study found that VR interventions could improve memory functions in older adults.
