Gain first hand insight into the daily struggles of dementia patients with this immersive training experience, designed to help you provide more empathetic and effective care.
What Is The Virtual Dementia Tour?
The Virtual Dementia Tour (VDT) is an immersive, interactive experience designed to simulate the sensory and cognitive challenges faced by individuals living with dementia. It allows participants, such as caregivers, healthcare professionals, and family members, to gain a deeper understanding of what it feels like to live with dementia. By temporarily altering the participants' senses, the tour helps foster empathy, improve communication, and inspire more compassionate care practices. The VDT is widely used in healthcare training and offers a powerful tool for raising awareness and enhancing the quality of care for people with dementia.
