Virtual reality use in cognitive rehabilitation of advanced dementia has been sparse. Three residents of a Dementia Ward participated in a feasibility study of the BrightArm™ system. They played custom games targeting several cognitive domains including short-term and working memory. Clinician observation revealed a positive effect on emotive state, with technology well accepted by all participants.
