Much research has shown that engaging with music can provide several benefits for individuals with dementia such as:
💬 Improved communication and self-expression: Music therapy can help dementia patients learn to express themselves through singing, even as their ability to communicate verbally declines. Singing and music can activate different neural pathways and help preserve speech.
💫 Strengthened long-term memory: People with dementia often retain memories and ability to sing songs from their past, even as other cognitive functions decline. Music may tap into parts of the brain less impacted by neurodegeneration.
🙂 Reduced agitation, anxiety, and depression: Music has been shown to reduce behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia like agitation, anxiety, and depression. It can trigger positive emotions and the release of feel-good hormones.
🧠 Enhanced cognitive function: Music therapy may help improve memory, cognition, daily functioning, and quality of life in people with dementia, potentially by promoting neuroplasticity and brain health.
🗣 Increased social engagement: Music can encourage social interaction, reduce isolation, and help dementia patients engage in group activities and connect with caregivers and loved ones.
💙 Our innovative VR solution allows care teams to use familiar, preferred music that is tailored to the individual’s background and musical preferences, coupled with the truly immersive nature of virtual reality can maximize these benefits for those living with dementia.
