Abstract: Advances in technology in the last decade have created a diverse field of applications for the care of persons with cognitive impairment. This chapter is an attempt to introduce a virtual reality computer-based intervention, which can used for cognitive stimulating and disease progression evaluation of a wide range of cognitive disorders ranging from mild cognitive impairment (MCI) to Alzheimer’s disease and various dementias. Virtual reality (VR) environments have already been successfully used in cognitive rehabilitation and show increased potential for use in neuropsychological evaluation allowing for greater ecological validity while being more engaging and user friendly. Nevertheless a holistic approach has been attempted, in order to view the research themes and applications that currently exist around the “intelligent systems” healthcare given to the cognitively impaired persons, and thus looking at research directions, systems, technological frameworks and perhaps trends.

Computerized Cognitive Training in Older Adults With Mild Cognitive Impairment or Dementia: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Nicole Hill,Loren Mowszowski,Sharon L. Naismith,Verity L. Chadwick,Michael Valenzuela,Amit Lampit +5 more
TL;DR: This intervention warrants longer-term and larger-scale trials to examine effects on conversion to dementia, as evidence for efficacy in people with dementia is weak and limited to trials of immersive technologies.

Alexander Moreno,Kylie Wall,Karthick Thangavelu,Lucas Craven,Emma Ward,Nadeeka N.W. Dissanayaka +5 more
TL;DR: The objective of this study was to determine the effects of VR on overall cognitive functioning in individuals with neurocognitive disorders (NCDs).

Assessing Saccadic Eye Movements With Head-Mounted Display Virtual Reality Technology.
TL;DR: It is suggested that VIVE Pro Eye can function as an assessment tool of saccadic eye movement since the results are in the range of or close to the results of previous studies, but technical limitations are found especially about time-related measurement parameters.
Virtual and augmented reality applications to improve older adults’ quality of life: A systematic mapping review and future directions
TL;DR: In this paper , a systematic mapping review was conducted of the studies published between 2009 and 2020 in major scientific databases, such as IEEE Xplore, Web of Science, Scopus, and PubMed.

Mnemonic strategy training of the elderly at risk for dementia enhances integration of information processing via cross-frequency coupling
Stavros I. Dimitriadis,Ioannis Tarnanas,Ioannis Tarnanas,Mark D. Wiederhold,Brenda K. Wiederhold,Magda Tsolaki,Elgar Fleisch,Elgar Fleisch +7 more
TL;DR: This research sought to identify whether intensive 10‐week mobile health mnemonic strategy training could shift the resting‐state brain network more toward cortical‐level integration, which has recently been proven to reflect the reorganization of the brain networks compensating the cognitive decline.

TL;DR: The criteria proposed are intended to serve as a guide for the diagnosis of probable, possible, and definite Alzheimer's disease; these criteria will be revised as more definitive information becomes available.

TL;DR: The workgroup sought to ensure that the revised criteria would be flexible enough to be used by both general healthcare providers without access to neuropsychological testing, advanced imaging, and cerebrospinal fluid measures, and specialized investigators involved in research or in clinical trial studies who would have these tools available.
Mild Cognitive Impairment: Clinical Characterization and Outcome

TL;DR: Patients who meet the criteria for MCI can be differentiated from healthy control subjects and those with very mild AD, and appear to constitute a clinical entity that can be characterized for treatment interventions.
