“…Some researchers used physiological signals to explore the effects of games on people. Wen et al [16] and Qi et al [17] collected EEG (electroencephalogram) signals to evaluate the condition of dementia patients. And Perugia et al [58] collected EDA (electrodermal activity) of dementia patients during their interaction with social robots to explore the psychological response of them.…”

Dementia is a severe disease threatening ageing societies, which not only causes great harm to patients both physically and psychologically but also places a heavy burden on patients' families. Medications have been used for the treatment of dementia but with little success. However, serious games, as a new form of dementia therapy, stand out from various therapeutic methods and pave the way for dementia treatment. In the field of serious games for dementia care (SGDC) in ageing societies, there exists abundant research related to this topic. While, a detailed review of the development route and a category framework for characteristics of dementia are still needed. Besides, due to the large number of games, it is difficult to select out effective ones. Yet, there is no unified and comprehensive assessment methods for SGDC. So a reliable assessment model is worth studying. In this paper, we review these existing research work on SGDC from two perspectives:(1) the development of SGDC; (2) the different symptoms in different dementia stages. We also propose a comprehensive and professional assessment model of the therapeutic effectiveness of SGDC to compensate for the simplicity of existing assessment methods. Finally, a discussion related to SGDC is presented.

“…Therefore, based on the theoretical foundation of both neuronal plasticity and cognitive reserve [ 3 ], cognitive interventions have been increasingly focused as an emerging therapeutic approach to enhance quality-of-life, improve or maintain cognitive and functional living skills, and improve psychological and behavioral symptoms of dementia [ 7 ]. Currently, cognitive interventions for people with NCDs can count on new and very promising technological approaches, such as virtual reality (VR) [ 8 ], which seems to be more effective than traditional approaches, producing positive outcomes in a shorter time, as well as enhancing the brain neuroplasticity [ 9 ]. VR provides three-dimensional life-like environments at a full (e.g., virtual camera or oculus) or non-immersive level (e.g., the desktop visual display system), allowing patients to do an interactive experience, based on “learning by doing” (which integrates two different cognitive systems, intuition and reasoning) [ 10 , 11 ].…”

The loss of functional living skills (FLS) is an essential feature of major neurocognitive disorders (M-NCD); virtual reality training (VRT) offers many possibilities for improving FLS in people with M-NCD. The aim of our study was to verify the effectiveness of a non-immersive VRT on FLS for patients with M-NCD. VRT was carried out for 10 to 20 sessions, by means of four 3D apps developed in our institute and installed on a large touch screen. The experimental group (EG) and the control group (CG) included 24 and 18 patients with M-NCD, respectively. They were administered the in vivo test (in specific hospital places reproducing the natural environments) at T1 (pre-training) and T3 (post-training); at T2, only EG was administered VRT. Statistically significant differences between EG and CG in all the in vivo tests were found in the number of correct responses; during VRT, the number of correct responses increased, while the execution times and the number of clues decreased. The improvement in the in vivo tests appeared to be related to the specific VRT applied. The satisfaction of participants with the VRT was moderate to high.

“…VR training can facilitate neurorehabilitation, promoting brain plasticity processes through complex mechanisms related to the reactivation of brain neurotransmitter capacities, maximizing the results compared to those obtained by conventional treatment [66,76]. Monitoring EEG activities of the patients could be a suitable practice to assess the biomarkers of neuroplasticity and to measure rehabilitation progress [67,77]. The results are promising; hence, we encourage researchers to develop new spatial memory VR-based protocols for neurorehabilitation.…”

In recent years, virtual reality (VR) technologies have become widely used in clinical settings because they offer impressive opportunities for neurorehabilitation of different cognitive deficits. Specifically, virtual environments (VEs) have ideal characteristics for navigational training aimed at rehabilitating spatial memory. A systematic search, following PRISMA guidelines, was carried out to explore the current scenario in neurorehabilitation of spatial memory using virtual reality. The literature on this topic was queried, 5048 papers were screened, and 16 studies were included, covering patients presenting different neuropsychological diseases. Our findings highlight the potential of the navigational task in virtual environments (VEs) for enhancing navigation and orientation abilities in patients with spatial memory disorders. The results are promising and suggest that VR training can facilitate neurorehabilitation, promoting brain plasticity processes. An overview of how VR-based training has been implemented is crucial for using these tools in clinical settings. Hence, in the current manuscript, we have critically debated the structure and the length of training protocols, as well as a different type of exploration through VR devices with different degrees of immersion. Furthermore, we analyzed and highlighted the crucial role played by the selection of the assessment tools.
