Feasibility Study of Virtual Sail 3D in Cognitive Functions
This trial is testing whether a 6-week virtual reality program called CEREBRUM, built around immersive 3D sailing scenarios, can help improve memory, attention, and other cognitive skills in older adults with mild cognitive impairment. Participants are compared against a web-based health education group. This is a feasibility study, meaning researchers are checking whether the approach is practical and safe before testing it more rigorously. No drugs are involved.
You may qualify if
- Age: 65 years or older
- Sex: all
- Living independently,
- Without conditions that would prevent them from participating in the activities of the experimental intervention "VSail 3D,"
- Without severe issues with autonomous mobility
- With Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) according to Addenbrooke's Cognitive Examination for cognitive functions (ACE-R), which also includes the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), with the following ranges: ACE = 66.93-79.86 and/or MMSE = 21-25.
- Signing the informed consent
You're excluded if
- severe cardiovascular conditions
- severe issues with autonomous mobility
- severe metabolic disorders not pharmacologically compensated
- severe neurological conditions that prevent from participating in the experimental protocol, such as a stroke within the past 2 years, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, or dementia (Alzheimer's, vascular, etc.)
- severe ongoing bronchopulmonary disorders
- severe ongoing renal disorders
- glaucoma, retinal detachment, or other serious vision conditions that do not allow the safe use of 3D virtual reality technology
- active malignant neoplasm that do not allow the hinders participation in the intervention.
