Research participants information

Seeking to recruit community-dwelling older adults (over 59) living with dementia and their nominated support person. They must be willing to participate in research activities such as interviews and group workshops. No prior experience of using VR technology is required. The researcher is available to travel to participants to complete research activities. They have the opportunity to have their voice heard in the design of this technology.
