NCT05811338 · NOT YET RECRUITING
Center for Research and Education on Aging and Technology Enhancement - CREATE V - Project 1
This trial is testing a virtual reality program called CAST, designed to give older adults with mild cognitive impairment a way to stay socially connected, mentally active, and engaged through immersive VR experiences. Researchers want to know whether people find it usable and whether it actually helps. This is a Phase NA behavioral study, meaning it is in early development and testing, not a drug trial, and nothing here is proven or approved.
