New virtual reality tool screens signs of pre-dementia with up to 90% accuracy
A new virtual reality tool will detect signs of pre-dementia in seniors with up to 90 per cent accuracy. This will cut screening times from hours to around 15 minutes. Amid rising cases of dementia in Singapore, only one in eight people who has pre-dementia is diagnosed with it during primary-care visits. Clinical Associate Professor Tan Ngiap Chuan from SingHealth Polyclinics shares more on the findings and uses of the VR dementia tool CAVIRE-2 in a study detecting signs of pre-dementia in seniors.
