- This research proposes a framework for Alzheimer's screening tests using virtual reality. Exploitation of virtual worlds led to the generation of advanced interactive cognitive tests overcoming the ceiling affect. This novel framework enhances the examination of patients and the monitoring of their progress, especially for those with a high level of education. Moreover, it reduces the requirement for invasive tests and can allow remote monitoring. AHEPA university hospital (Thessaloniki, Greece), which used this solution, acknowledged the value of VR as a non-invasive tool for early diagnosis of dementia, including the reduction of the need for additional MRI scans.
