Effectiveness of TeleVR App in Cognitive Decline and MCI Patients

Participants assigned to the experimental group will engage in a six-week telerehabilitation program utilizing two non-immersive Virtual Reality (VR) applications, NeuroNation and The Sims Mobile. These apps are designed to enhance cognitive performance and social cognition skills through interactive and scientifically validated exercises. NeuroNation focuses on improving memory, attention, reasoning speed, and mental flexibility, while The Sims Mobile engages participants in realistic social scenarios that challenge their empathy, communication, and problem-solving abilities. The intervention involves three 30-minute sessions per week, which participants will complete remotely using smartphones or tablets. Therapists will provide weekly virtual check-ins to monitor progress, address questions, and ensure adherence to the protocol. This program aims to create an engaging and accessible rehabilitation experience while promoting real-life application of cognitive and social skills improv

Participants in the control group will follow a traditional rehabilitation protocol that relies on paper-based cognitive exercises. This program targets cognitive domains such as attention, memory, and executive functions through tasks like puzzles, memory challenges, and problem-solving activities. The intervention also spans six weeks, with participants completing three 30-minute sessions per week. During an initial session, participants will receive all necessary materials and instructions for completing the exercises independently at home. Therapists will provide weekly remote support via phone or video to track progress and address any concerns. This conventional approach serves as a baseline for comparison with the innovative telerehabilitation method in the experimental group.
