What is the effectiveness when we tap on technology (E.g. AI) to recreate an immersive virtual art experience for older adults? Or it could be a solution for seniors with mobility issues (E.g. bedbound)? (2/2)

During our visit to the Museum, I recall the staff sharing that from their experience people enjoy the direct face to face experience of viewing and experiencing the artwork in the galleries in person instead of virtual galleries (1/2) @artsageingntu #artsaging #AG6309Wk10AY22T3

The use of technology to engage older adults might be a norm in the future. One interesting way is using virtual and augmented reality (VR & AR). There seems to varying benefits including real-world orientation!

The art activity in class this week was really random and uses our creativity to come up with something on the spot. Can you guess what are the shapes made up of? P.S I can't draw hahaha

I remember vividly that my grandparents used to watch opera frequently when I was much younger. Now I wonder if certain art forms are at risk of being lost? They may very well be the most relatable to seniors. https://t.co/Tm3tCP3kCW @artsageingntu #artaging #AG6309Wk8AY22T3

Arts is truly boundless. Here's an interesting one that uses recyclables or things that may be found in your home. Once the artwork is created, it could become a conversation starter on what it means to seniors!

Standardized assessment tools can provide valuable insights into how diff types of arts programs may affect cognitive function differently which can inform the development of more targeted and effective programs for older adults. @ArtsAgeingNTU #artevaluation #AG6309Wk5AY22T3

[Eva Chia @ec_centriccc]

Tools for assessing cognitive function in older adults with impairment include Mini-Mental State Exam and Montreal Cognitive Assessment. They can assess cognitive function, including memory, orientation, and executive function.
@artsageingntu #artevaluation #AG6309Wk5AY22T3

[Eva Chia @ec_centriccc]

The use of these tools can help healthcare professionals to develop personalized care plans for older adults with impairment and ensure that they receive appropriate support and treatment. It can be adapted for arts program too!
