Technology and Family Thriving Study

Using Rendever to Improve the Quality of Life of Older Adults With Cognitive Impairments in Senior Living Communities and Their Family Members Who Live at a Distance

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 29 Jul 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

The purpose of this project is to test the impact of different forms of technology (virtual reality vs. video chat) on quality of life and family relationships in older adults who reside in senior living communities and an adult child who lives at a distance. The study will also investigate whether responses to the technology and quality of life outcomes depend on older adults' level of cognitive impairment.
