Virtual reality (VR) technology is being examined for use in the medical profession to treat issues such as dementia. Compassionate care company, One Caring Team's, developed Aloha VR , which is being used to treat dementia and depression in older patients. Digital trips to peaceful locations have reportedly helped patients to relax and engage using the therapy, with the company claiming some dramatic results. While the exact way that VR treats issues is still unknown, One Caring Team's's Sonya Kim thinks the treatment may reactivate patients’ neural pathways as they are presented with situations without distraction.
