VRx@Home protocol: A virtual reality at-home intervention for persons living with dementia and their care partners by Di Qi, Lora Appel, Raheleh Saryazdi, Samantha Lewis-Fung, Lou-Anne Carsault, Eduardo Garcia-Giler, Jennifer L Campos

“…Thus, the goal of the proposed project is to explore whether an immersive, multisensory VR intervention can facilitate communication between PLwD and their care partners and, in turn, enhance personal relationships and improve well-being.Methods and analysis Thirty dyads comprised of PLwD and their family/friend care partners will participate in this at-home intervention. Their interactions will be recorded as they experience a series of 360° videos together (eg, concert, travel) either using a VR headset (PLwD) with a paired tablet (care partner) or using only a tablet together. …”
