Goals

Project overview
IDEABLE is a Spanish SME specialized in eldercare market and has already started developing games for cognitive stimulation. We want to test that these therapies, especially those related to Virtual Reality may be really powerful for working with elderly users. What we want to do in this small collaborative project is:
• Tune some existing games and activities for elderly users.
• Test it with those end users during most of the virtuAAL project.
• Analyse if there is a possible impact on cognitive stimulation.
• Analyse if these technologies may be successful in this area.
And for that, we have decided to use AR & VR technologies and adapt games that may be tested in 2 different countries in Europe to decide if these technologies impact in cognitive stimulation and motivation and analyse the commercial viability of creating a sector for gaming for the elderly using VR & AR for nursing homes and cognitive stimulation centers.
Expected results
For patients in nursing homes
It would offer new and attractive ways to perform cognitive stimulation therapies (VR and AR), involving different types of end users in two different countries, so we could analyse even how the cultural.
End-user organisations
We would also validate the benefits for those end-user organisations, in terms of positive changes in the state of their patients, but also in the impact in their own processes and workers and the marketing it could give them.
Potential new market
The project will also try to analyse the existence of a potential new market for cognitive stimulation across Europe.
