Developing an At-Home VR Activity Training Program for People with AD/ADRD (AARGD-NTF-24-1313542)
Funded by Alzheimer's Association (2024-2027)
Project Description: Prior work suggests that repetitive practice of daily activities can enhance real-world performance; however, implementing realistic practice in everyday settings is challenging and may pose safety risks, as individuals with dementia may be vulnerable to injury. To address this gap, our project will develop VR programs that can be used with low-cost head-mounted displays in home environments, providing a scalable and safe approach to daily activity training.
