About this study
The purpose of this study is to test the usefulness and the effect of Smart Virtual Reminiscence (SVR) therapy intervention on the Behavioral and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia (BPSD) of patients with Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD). SVR is designed to help older adults improve their psychological well-being and cognition. This research supports our long-term goal of designing and implementing intelligent interactive systems to improve the health of individuals with ADRD.
