I have noticed changes in my thinking or memory.
I have a recognized impairment in thinking skills.
I can manage most daily activities on my own.
I do not have a diagnosis of dementia.

Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is a term used to describe the transitional stage that occurs between normal aging and the onset of dementia.

Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is a term used to describe the transitional stage that occurs between normal aging and the onset of dementia. Spatial disorientation is often considered a significant indicator for diagnosing dementia. Numerous studies have documented deficits in both the allocentric and egocentric spatial frames of reference, as well as difficulties in transitioning between them, in individuals with MCI. Rapid advances in computing technology have enabled researchers to conduct cognitive training and rehabilitation interventions with the assistance of technology. Therefore, the aim of the study is to use virtual therapeutics to train MCI spatial memory.
