Problem
Long-term care facilities often struggle to provide engaging, personalized activities that alleviate loneliness, improve mood, and support the emotional well‑being of senior residents, especially those with mobility limitations or dementia. Traditional recreation programs can be resource‑intensive and may not offer the variety needed to create meaningful, shared experiences for residents and their families.
Solution
caregiVR delivers a research‑informed virtual reality platform tailored for seniors in long‑term care, assisted living, and community wellness programs. The system pairs a lightweight headset with a tablet interface, allowing caregivers to select and guide immersive experiences while viewing the resident’s perspective in real time. Content libraries include nature scenes, travel destinations, mindfulness sessions, music, and reminiscence‑focused videos designed for seated, low‑sensory use. An institutional dashboard tracks usage and impact metrics, and VRec‑Therapy training equips staff and volunteers to run sessions safely and effectively. The platform also supports shared experiences that connect residents with family members, fostering social interaction and lasting memories.
Target Audience
Primary customers are administrators and care teams at long‑term care homes, assisted living communities, and senior wellness programs, as well as family caregivers seeking virtual experiences to share with their loved ones.
