  • Virtual reality (VR) is becoming more popular as a way to help train caregivers when it comes to dementia or Alzheimer's. One company known as Embodied Labs developed a virtual reality experience to help train caregivers and healthcare providers on taking care of patients with Lewy Body Dementia (LBD).
    The virtual reality program is called the Dima Lab, where users experience Lewy Body Dementia through the eyes of a woman named Dima.
