Benedictine Health System has announced a partnership with MyndVR to bring virtual reality therapy to seniors at Regina Senior Living in Hastings, MN, and Madonna Meadows of Rochester, MN.
“Benedictine is pleased to partner with MyndVR and bring cutting-edge virtual reality technology to our communities,” said Jerry Carley, Benedictine president and CEO. “By embracing virtual reality, Benedictine can provide staff with innovative training to support compassionate, empathetic interactions with their residents as well as a resource for bringing holistic interventions to residents.”
MyndVR allows seniors to have immersive virtual reality experiences revolving around meaningful content with a purpose. MyndVR focuses on quality of life by creating content and experiences that empower seniors to learn, grow and indulge curiosity.
“Our goal is to lift the quality of life and the spirits of the senior citizens across the country,” said Chris Brickler, co-founder and CEO of MyndVR. “We have the ability to bring in a super-engaging technology to these folks – more engaging than TV, more engaging than newspapers. This is a true immersive technology that provides joy and takes people out of the four walls of their existence.”
