Virtual reality experiences coming to Carolina Caring seniors
Carolina Caring announces the deployment of a virtual reality platform to its patients. Boston-based company Rendever and Lenovo combined their products into a joint solution that senior living providers can easily adopt to improve the quality of life for older adults through positive shared experiences. Rendever’s award-winning virtual reality solution delivered on Lenovo’s ThinkReality VRX headset provides an all-in-one standalone solution that meets the evolving needs of enterprises with modern virtual reality with six degrees of freedom, full color, and high-resolution experiences. Rendever is deployed in over 700 communities nationwide and looks to further expand with the addition of Carolina Caring in collaboration with Lenovo.
“It’s been incredible to see our patients interact with each other and virtually explore parts of the world they’ve never been able to before with this holistic approach and see how it positively impacts their wellbeing. For example, we’ve seen anxious patients with tremors become at ease during a VR session. Our caregivers and clinicians can easily integrate the technology into our programming and offer these special moments to our patients,” said Kelly Tate, VP of Community Relations at Carolina Caring.
Carolina Caring, founded in 1979, is an independent, community-based, nonprofit healthcare provider. It specializes in programs that offer relief from chronic conditions, serious illnesses, and the challenges they bring. Carolina Caring serves 12 counties across western North Carolina, including Burke.
