Impact Story
Anxiety is a common symptom among dementia patients. It can manifest in a variety of ways, such as agitation, restlessness, and fear. Anxiety in dementia patients can be caused by a number of factors, including changes in the brain that occur with the disease, as well as changes in the patient's environment or daily routine. It can also be caused by the patient's own feelings of confusion, disorientation, and loss of control. Dementia patients with severe anxiety may have difficulty sleeping, eating, and communicating with others. It is important for caregivers to understand and recognize the signs of anxiety in dementia patients and to work with healthcare professionals to develop appropriate treatment plans.
Through virtual reality, immersive experiences and Porta breathing techniques, Porta D generates neuroplasticity in the brain and uses simulated therapeutic environments. Constituting ourselves as a complement or replacement to the use of drugs.
