1st Newsletter

The first CaregIVR newsletter introduces the project’s mission to empower informal caregivers through cardiovascular health literacy and immersive virtual reality. It presents the initial survey with informal carers, the first promotion sessions, focus groups, partner meetings and the next steps in developing digital tools to support better care for post-stroke patients.

2nd Newsletter

The second CaregIVR newsletter presents the progress made in designing immersive virtual reality scenarios to support informal caregivers. It highlights the focus groups organised with caregivers, health professionals, professors and students, which helped identify four key areas for development: preparing the home for caregiving, understanding the patient’s perspective, improving caregiving skills and supporting caregiver wellbeing.

3rd Newsletter

The third CaregIVR newsletter presents the development of immersive virtual reality scenarios designed to help informal caregivers better understand the challenges faced by people recovering from a stroke. It highlights how realistic simulations and virtual home environments can promote empathy, awareness, accessibility and safer caregiving practices, while also introducing progress on the CaregIVR mobile app and upcoming project activities.

4th Newsletter

The fourth CaregIVR newsletter presents the project’s new implementation phase, with virtual reality sessions being tested with informal caregivers across the partner countries. It highlights the positive initial feedback from participants, who value the opportunity to experience stroke-related challenges from a different perspective and explore practical ways to create safer and more accessible home environments.
