Alzheimer's Society: How to use VR for good
18 Mar 2024by Josie Sparling
In our latest video, we hear from Simon Lord, Head of Innovation at Alzheimer’s Society, to learn about how the charity is driving virtual reality innovation to give help and hope to people living with dementia
One in three people born today will develop dementia during their lifetime, and Alzheimer’s Society is committed to developing products for every person at every stage of the condition. To do this, the charity offers investment along with business support from expert innovators and ensures co-creation with experts with lived experience of dementia.
Recreo VR is one such product, with a mission to bring joy and enrichment to those living with dementia through virtual reality (VR).
Simon Lord told us: “In collaboration with the innovators on our programme, we’re transforming the dementia landscape and we’re helping to pioneer solutions that are more than products: they’re beacons of hope for people living with dementia.” Watch the video to find out:
