NeuronsVR: Virtual Reality Therapy Tailored to Your Residents’ Needs

As the aged care sector advances, NeuronsVR is paving the way forward with groundbreaking virtual reality (VR) therapy that connects with residents on a deeply personal and cultural level.

Unlike one-size-fits-all VR programs, NeuronsVR leads with a “person centred” approach, to fulfil an “unmet need” by designing immersive virtual reality therapy programs that truly engage, comfort, and resonate with residents across diverse backgrounds.

Through collaboration with clients, cultural custodians, and expert partners, NeuronsVR develops custom VR therapy sessions that address the unique emotional, cognitive, and cultural needs of residents.

Culturally Focused Therapy Programs: A First Nations Example

For First Nations residents, NeuronsVR has pioneered an exclusive, culturally immersive program in partnership with ARRCS and First Nations Elders.

By developing a library of experiences to include ancestral lands and sacred sites, NeuronsVR’s First Nations programs reconnect residents with the stories, language, and landscapes essential to their heritage. This culturally resonant approach has proven therapeutic, offering comfort, empowerment, and a renewed sense of identity, especially for those living with dementia.

Through this unique collaboration, NeuronsVR has developed the skills and processes needed to create VR therapy sessions that are not only immersive but deeply respectful of and tailored to residents’ cultural identities – an offering other VR providers cannot replicate due to NeuronsVR’s exclusive access and expertise.

Expanding VR Therapy: Tailored to Meet Diverse Client Needs

NeuronsVR can develop tailored virtual reality therapy programs beyond cultural heritage, whether supporting residents to reconnect with their working life occupations, residents with rural backgrounds revisiting familiar farm landscapes, or allowing residents who loved to travel to revisit their favourite destinations around the globe.

NeuronsVR tailored sessions use sensory elements and resident-specific themes to reduce stress, calm agitation, and improve mental and emotional well-being.

For aged care providers looking to offer specialised, impactful therapy options, NeuronsVR’s custom solutions provide a valuable way to connect with residents on a deeper level.

Transforming Dementia Care with Non-Pharmacological Pain Management

NeuronsVR’s virtual reality therapy is reshaping pain management and wound care in aged care, providing a non-pharmacological alternative that brings comfort and calm to residents, particularly those living with dementia.

Traditional pain management can be challenging, as many residents with dementia may struggle to communicate their pain, or feel anxious during care procedures. NeuronsVR addresses this with custom-developed experiences specifically for pain management.

A great example of this comes from Amana Living in Western Australia, where a gentleman was admitted in a very poor state with multiple wounds and overall deterioration. He had been in extreme pain during wound care previously, even with analgesia being administered.

When using NeuronsVR during his wound dressing, this gentleman showed no signs of pain or distress, instead focused on the VR session where he was in a field amongst cows and cattle dogs. Staff observed him moving his head from side to side, taking everything in and commenting that they had never seen anything quite like this before during wound treatment. This calming environment helped him remain relaxed, allowing wound care to proceed smoothly without signs of discomfort or the need for sedatives.

This dual-action approach, combining distraction with neurological engagement, has enabled care teams to create a more cooperative and compassionate atmosphere for residents, reducing agitation and fostering a greater sense of control. For aged care facilities, NeuronsVR offers a breakthrough in holistic, non-invasive pain management, to enhancing the wellbeing and dignity of residents while minimising reliance on medication.
