Prescribing VRx is an immersive experience for individuals with dementia to improve quality of life. This therapy might be used in lieu of other treatments such as sedatives, physical restraints or tracking devices. Recently, VR has also been an area of research for memory training for elderly adults to prevent memory decline and its related cognitive pathology. The Prescribing VRx kit research will focus primarily on ways to treat caregivers, end users and loved ones effectively to give the VR treatment to users with dementia or Alzheimer's Disease.
