Can We Experience Dementia with Virtual Reality? | Being Patient

Virtual reality (VR) is becoming more popular as a way to help train caregivers when it comes to dementia or Alzheimer's. One company known as Embodied Labs developed a virtual reality experience to help train caregivers and healthcare providers on taking care of patients with Lewy Body Dementia (LBD).
The virtual reality program is called the Dima Lab, where users experience Lewy Body Dementia through the eyes of a woman named Dima.

My late father had Dementia and my paternal grandmother had Alzheimer's. The key to helping these dear souls is patience, love and understanding. I miss my family so much. 😔 Thank you for this video.
