PROJECTS

A 3-phase pilot followed by RCT evaluating the feasibility and effectiveness of VR exposure therapy for reducing seizure-related anxiety in people with epilepsy.

A pilot study integrating VR into undergraduate courses by replacing traditional assignments with immersive projects, assessing feasibility, engagement, and implementation challenges.

A case series evaluating the use of VR during dental procedures for stroke patients, finding it feasible, well tolerated, and potentially effective in reducing pain and anxiety.

A feasibility study evaluating a VR protocol based on the Contrast Avoidance Model for General Anxiety, using repeated relaxation-to-threat transitions to induce emotional contrast and assess physiological, subjective, and usability outcomes.

A feasibility study evaluating immersive VR therapy for older adults in care settings, assessing tolerability and its potential to improve mood, relaxation, and wellbeing.

A study designing an observational tool to assess real-time responses of people with dementia during VR therapy sessions, addressing challenges in measuring subjective wellbeing outcomes.

A 12-week home-based virtual reality training program designed to improve visual attention and driving performance in people with brain injury–related vision loss.

A community-based study evaluating Re:GARDE, a low-cost VR vision training program designed to improve visual perception in older adults, support independence, and potentially reduce cognitive decline risk.

A home-based pilot study testing VR-guided audio–visual training in children with hemianopia.

An exploratory study integrating VR therapy into the existing Safewards framework to support staff relaxation and conflict management in inpatient mental health settings.

A scoping review of peer-reviewed studies on the use of VR to support wellbeing in people living with dementia, examining outcomes, methodologies, and system design.

A study exploring the feasibility of introducing VR therapy for intubated ICU patients to improve care while minimizing disruption to clinical workflows.

A participatory workshop project enabling older adults with dementia and their families to co-create VR experiences, aimed at reducing isolation, improving digital literacy, and capturing personal stories.

A randomized controlled trial evaluating the feasibility and clinical impact of VR therapy for hospitalized patients with dementia, showing potential to reduce behavioural symptoms in acute care settings.

A study exploring the use of VR therapy to reduce responsive behaviours in long-term care residents while supporting staff wellbeing and care delivery.

An 8-week cross-over trial exploring whether VR-assisted exercise reduces self-reported pain during home exercises compared to standard non-VR practice

A pilot study designing and evaluating VR therapy at home for people with dementia, showing it is safe, feasible, and potentially beneficial for patient and caregiver well-being.

An initiative mapping global VR use in senior care to connect stakeholders, reduce duplication, and build a collaborative community of practice.

A 6-week randomized crossover trial evaluating solo and facilitated VR delivery models in 50 dyads of caregivers and people living with dementia.

A scoping review on peer-reviewed literature that explores the use of VR for vocational training in people with intellectual disabilities.
