Caregiver VR - VR Dementia Tour
FY 2022-23 · 2022-07-01
Summary
The number of individuals aged 65+ is projected to double from 703 million in 2019 to 1.5 billion globally by 2050. In response to this expected growth, there will be an increasing demand for well-trained caregivers.
To address this we are developing Caregiver VR, a VR/Desktop platform that enables live VR role-playing simulations between users in front of a virtual classroom. This platform will also empower end-users to practice interactions with and experience the world from the perspective of those experiencing dementia and ageing. This helps caregivers to share core soft & hard skills in a hands-on and engaging way globally, reduces training costs, increases accessibility, all leading to better healthcare outcomes of patients.

To address this we are developing Caregiver VR, a VR/Desktop platform that enables live VR role-playing simulations between users in front of a virtual classroom.

Description (French)
Le nombre de personnes âgées de plus de 65 ans devrait doubler, passant de 703 millions en 2019 à 1,5 milliard dans le monde d'ici 2050. En réponse à cette croissance attendue, il y aura une demande croissante de soignants bien formés. Pour répondre à cette demande, nous développons Caregiver VR, une plateforme RV/ordinateur de bureau qui permet des simulations de jeux de rôles en réalité virtuelle en direct entre utilisateurs devant une salle de classe virtuelle. Cette plateforme permettra également aux utilisateurs finaux de s'entraîner à interagir avec les personnes atteintes de démence et vieillissantes et de découvrir le monde du point de vue de ces personnes. Elle aidera les soignants à partager leurs compétences fondamentales de manière pratique et attrayante à l'échelle mondiale, réduira les coûts de formation et augmentera l'accessibilité, ce qui permettra d'améliorer les résultats des soins de santé pour les patients.
