Help Improve Healthcare from Home: Join Our Virtual Reality Research Study 

Are you a caregiver age 50+ who helps an older adult? We’re inviting caregiving pairs to join a 6-month study testing a fun, home-based virtual reality (VR) exergame designed to increase physical activity and improve access to care. 

You and your care partner will receive a VR system for two—easy to use, safe, and yours to keep (restrictions may apply). Each participant also receives up to $240 in compensation. You’ll play together at home, and your feedback will help shape a new healthcare solution. Participation includes short weekly check-ins, three surveys and assessments, and anonymous, secure data collection of game scores and de-identified health records. 

Help develop technology that could allow doctors to remotely monitor patients’ well-being while the patient actually has fun exercising at home and improving physical and cognitive health. By sharing insights on physical and cognitive function with an individual’s chosen care team – caregivers, physical therapists, physicians – we aim to empower caregiver decision-making, reduce unnecessary office visits, prevent decline, and enable timely, proactive care. 

Requirements: 

You’re 50+ and care for someone 65+ 
Your care partner has mild to moderate cognitive impairment 
They have done physical therapy in the past 12 months 
You live together or are together at least 5 days/week 

All are welcome—including those with mobility, vision, or hearing challenges. Let’s build a better future for caregivers and the people they care for—together.
