Mr. Angelo Cedric Panganiban represented AXEL at the International Conference on Health Informatics 2023 (HEALTHINF 2023) last February 16, 2023. His presentation, Analysis of Virtual Reality Therapy Game Prototype for Persons Living with Dementia in the Philippines, aimed to discuss the development of an improved virtual reality therapy game for persons with behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia and the professional insights and recommendations of the participants about the game. HEALTHINF 2023 was based in Lisbon, Portugal, and as part of the 16th International Joint Conference on Biomedical Engineering Systems and Technologies.
Dr. Maria Eliza Aguila and Mr. Josiah Cyrus Boque shared their insights and experiences on working with immersive technologies on Day 2 of the 20th Youth Congress on Information Technology (Y4iT 2022). The event ran from November 16-18, 2022, and was organized by the UP System Information Technology Foundation.

The AXEL research group has finished data collection among 30 healthy adults and 30 healthy children who volunteered to test the novel virtual reality (VR) interventions. The group of healthy adults tested a VR application developed to address the behavioral and psychological symptoms that persons living with dementia may experience, while the group of healthy children interacted with a VR application for pediatric patients with cerebral palsy. Data collection for these groups was completed by July 26, 2022 and July 22, 2022, respectively.
Dr. Veeda Michelle Anlacan represents the AXEL research group as she delivers a virtual presentation on the project, Developing an Immersive Gamification Technology System (ImGTS) for the Management of Behavioral and Psychological Symptoms among Persons with Dementia (Phase 1 Trial) on June 11, 2022. The 2021 Alzheimer’s Disease International Conference was based in London, United Kingdom and was held from June 9-11, 2022.
