EWGPWD takes part in consultation for work on the possible readaptation of a rehabilitation gaming system

Work is currently being carried out in the context of a project called “Virtual Brain Cloud” in which Eodyne (a company which is part of this project)  has developed a “Rehabilitation Gaming System” (RGS). The RGS was developed for the treatment of deficits resulting from brain damage and has been used for people who have experienced a stroke. On 14 December, the EWGPWD took part in a consultation to reflect on the possible development of a similar approach for people with dementia. This was a  Public Involvement activity in which the members of the EWGPWD discussed with Santiago Brandi from Eodyne different possible approaches and some of the issues that it would be important to consider when developing a study to adapt these for people with dementia. There was considerable interest in this system and the EWGPWD is keen to pursue this issue further with Santiago. Ana Diaz and Dianne Gove co-moderated this session with Santiago Brandi.
