Suffolk County Council, GB develops virtual reality application for residents with dementia

Suffolk County Council, GB Dementia Virtual Reality App

In Progress

Suffolk County Council approved a contract with Spark for a VR application dedicated to dementia care. The Digital Care Team will turn ideas from care providers and the community into engaging virtual activities. A prototype of the app will be tested in at-home and care home settings with feedback used for further development. This project uses £80,000 from the Suffolk 2020 Fund and complements existing dementia care tools like AV theme rooms.
