Immersive VR has potential as a tool to promote the health and well-being of people without cognitive impairment living in RAC. Small sample sizes, variations in study design, and selection bias mean that generalisability of the results is limited. Further research is recommended to inform the design and implementation of immersive VR programs tailored specifically for this population.
