Virtual Reality Music in Geriatric Inpatients

Virtual Reality Based Music Intervention in an Acute Geriatric Setting

NCT06519253•St. Mary's Research Center, Canada

Summary

Older adults, especially those in acute care require accessible non-pharmacological interventions, such as music to improve their mental health. Immersive 360 virtual reality (VR), is an innovative technology that has been found to be feasible, safe, and enjoyable by older adults. However, VR based music intervention to improve older adults' mental health has not been studied in acute in-patient settings.
