Virtual reality improves residents’ moods

SilVR Adventures December 04, 2020 aged care



"One of the main findings of this virtual reality trial is that virtual reality over the longer term managed to decrease depression scores”

Great article on a recent study by University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia exploring the feasibility of virtual reality as a non-pharmacological approach to improving residents’ moods and reducing depression, agitation and anxiety.

Ongoing virtual reality experiences were found to help reduce depression in aged care residents.
