Virtual day: A VR game for evaluation of prospective memory in older adults

Research output: Contribution to conferencePosterScientificpeer-review

Abstract

Prospective memory (PM), the ability to remember to perform tasks in the future, is vital for maintaining functional independence in older adults. This paper introduces “Virtual Day”, a novel Virtual Reality (VR) game designed to assess PM in an immersive and realistic environment. We report a feasibility study where Virtual Day was compared to its clinical counterpart, a digital board game. Results indicate a preference for Virtual Day, noting it as more engaging and enjoyable, despite being more challenging. Follow-up development will build on these findings to use VR as a potential tool for cognitive interventions to promote healthy aging.
