Why CaregIVR?
The burden on informal caregivers can be significant, and they often face high levels of stress and burnout.
The project aims to harness the power of Immersive Virtual Reality to create realistic and interactive training simulations for caregivers, enabling them to develop and enhance their skills in a safe and controlled environment. By simulating real-life care scenarios, CaregIVR helps caregivers practice responses to complex situations and understand the perspective of post-stroke patients, thereby increasing their ability to protect their own health while providing compassionate and effective care.
About us
The CaregIVR project aims to empower informal caregivers and vulnerable individuals by increasing their literacy in cardiovascular diseases and promoting the development of skills in providing care to post-stroke patients through the use of Immersive Virtual Reality.
Likewise, the prevention of associated cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complications, as well as the promotion of a healthy lifestyle within this population, are central objectives.
The actions
To reach these objectives the project is composed of:
- A report on the situation of informal caregivers, cardiovascular conditions, and the regulations in each country, with comparative and systematic analyses.
- Scientific article
- Informative sessions with informal caregivers
- Training sessions for caregivers using Immersive Virtual Reality equipment and software
- Application
- E-book
- Final conferences
