Immersive Technologies Show Therapeutic Signals For Cognitive Rehabilitation
A systematic review in J Med Internet Res (2026) analyzed 119 studies (Scopus and Web of Science searches, 2021–2026) evaluating VR, AR, and CAVE interventions for cognitive rehabilitation in mild cognitive impairment and dementia. Findings show signals of benefit for memory, attention, and executive function, with AR aiding context-aware cueing and CAVE aiding spatial tasks, but heterogeneity, small samples, cybersickness, and implementation barriers limit certainty and require standardized reporting and larger comparative trials.
Scoring Rationale
Systematic, peer-reviewed synthesis of 119 studies supports therapeutic signals; limited by heterogeneity, small samples, and implementation uncertainty.
