VR Technologies
Shaping experiences that increase wellbeing and mental health
VR allows sedentary residents to engage in experiences like re-visiting the Eiffel tower or strolling through the neighbourhood of the childhood family home that they haven’t seen for decades.
VR has the ability to create new mental, emotional connections. To spark intrigue a sense of wonder and provide experiences that help people connect with their emotions in a life-affirming way.
Nurse Maude has been researching this technology and has introduced it into our Hospice, with great results.
