“…For example, the multiple buttons on the hand controller are all programmed to do the same thing and so it does not matter if the patient presses a wrong button by mistake. Initial tests with stroke survivors also confirmed that VIRTUE does not result in any feeling of nausea (or other cybersickness effect) [15] as the patient is not required to navigate around a scenario.…”

We present the results of a double-blind phase 2b randomized control trial that used a custom built virtual reality environment for the cognitive rehabilitation of stroke survivors. A stroke causes damage to the brain and problem solving, memory and task sequencing are commonly affected. The brain can recover to some extent, however, and stroke patients have to relearn how to carry out activities of daily living. We have created an application called VIRTUE to enable such activities to be practiced using immersive virtual reality. Gamification techniques enhance the motivation of patients such as by making the level of difficulty of a task increase over time. The design and implementation of VIRTUE is described together with the results of the trial conducted within the Stroke Unit of a large hospital. We report on the safety and acceptability of VIRTUE. We have also observed particular benefits of VR treatment for stroke survivors that experienced more severe cognitive impairment, and an encouraging reduction in time spent in the hospital for all patients that received the VR treatment.

<p>This review explores mild cognitive impairment support, focusing on virtual reality (VR) applications coupled with electrodermal activity (EDA). A systematic review and meta-analysis using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement were performed from an original inquiry of 698 articles from 11 digital libraries. An independent review of selected studies assessed the risk of bias and obtained data. The meta-analysis included 44 studies, with a total number of 9099 participants in all the papers reviewed were split into (5200) cognitive or (2304) non-cognitive impairments. The proportion of cognitive versus non-cognitive had a first risk difference (RD = 0.32; p-value = 0.0001). The comparison of female to male participants showed (OR = 6.10; p-value = 0.00001). Anxiety, depression, and stress conditions had the effect of (SMD = -0.39; p-value = 0.09). In the analysis, the general lack of research restricts virtual reality and electrodermal activity to sustain mild cognitive impairments. Forty-five excluded papers applied data from pre-2017. Two studies with 46 participants had a result of (SMD = 0.60; p-value = 0.31). Identifying VR and EDA-based studies investigating training and rehabilitation to support MCI symptoms in individuals.</p>
