Use of Immersive Virtual Reality in the Assessment and Treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease: A Systematic Review

Abstract: Background: Immersive virtual reality (iVR) allows seamless interaction with simulated environments and is becoming an established tool in clinical research. It is unclear whether iVR is acceptable to people with Alzheimer's disease (AD) dementia or useful in their care. We explore whether iVR is a viable research tool that may aid the detection and treatment of AD. Objectives: This review examines the use of iVR in people with AD or mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Methods: Medline, PsycINFO, Embase, CINAHL, … Show more

“…Today's high-resolution virtual environments are becoming astonishingly lifelike, opening new opportunities to study various types of human behavior in a controlled context. The use of virtual reality (VR) is already widespread in behavioral (Makransky et al, 2019), cognitive (Wolbers and Büchel, 2005), medical (Plancher et al, 2012;Clay et al, 2020), and design research (Kalantari and Neo, 2020). This technology allows researchers to isolate and adjust environmental variables in a way that would not be possible in the real world.…”

“…The tool of virtual reality (VR) is experiencing a new golden age, thanks in particular to the drop in cost in the years 2010 (Castelvecchi, 2016;Slater, 2018) and the possibility for developers to use free content (Cipresso et al, 2016(Cipresso et al, , 2018. It is now recognized as a powerful tool of investigation, therapy and training in psychology, biomedical sciences, neurosciences and cognitive sciences (Gregg and Tarrier, 2007;Foreman, 2010;Bohil et al, 2011;Scozzari and Gamberini, 2011;Parsons et al, 2017;Cipresso et al, 2018;Pan and Hamilton, 2018;Clay et al, 2020). This appeal relies mostly on the possibility of maintaining ecological validity while retaining experimental control: VR is a technology that combines the best of both worlds (Minderer et al, 2016).…”

“…General technophobia is also an issue that can impede the use of VR and other computerized tests [ 64 , 65 ]. Some of these issues in accessibility, such as motion sickness, appear to be alleviated in recent work, perhaps due to improvements in the technology [ 73 ]. As VR technology is made more advanced and becomes more commonplace, these disadvantages may be mitigated further.…”
