Transforming aged care with virtual reality: How organisational culture impacts technology adoption and sustained uptake

CONCLUSIONS: Our results indicate benefits and challenges of VR use in aged care, offering valuable insights into the factors that can lead to the long-term success of VR-based leisure activities for aged care. Providing time and resources for a VR champion to experiment and learn about the technology is critical. The development of an online implementation toolkit, based on our learning from this project, also provides aged care stakeholders with the evidence-based resources needed to ensure the successful implementation of VR-based leisure programs.PMID:37803886 | DOI:10.1111/ajag.13248
