Is VR the Answer to Early Alzheimer’s Detection?

Cambridge Study Finds VR Could Detect Early Alzheimer’s Symptoms

Cambridge researchers may have made a groundbreaking medical breakthrough with the potential to detect early signs of Alzheimer’s through virtual reality (VR) technology. The University of Cambridge conducted a study in which volunteers were immersed in a spatial environment to test their navigation abilities, which have been identified as an early warning sign of Alzheimer’s disease. The research highlights the potential for navigation skills to serve as an important indicator of dementia risk.
