Mental Gym: Technology that connects, inspires, and transforms
Delegação de Vila Real de Santo António
The Mental Gym project continues to explore new ways to promote active aging by using new technologies—including virtual reality—as tools for cognitive, emotional, and social stimulation.

During a recent session, participants experienced virtual reality for the first time in an environment carefully designed to foster curiosity, well-being, and active participation.

 

The experience was impactful from the very start, demonstrating the potential of these technologies when harnessed for the benefit of people.

 

More than just technology, Mental Gym focuses on experiences that connect, inspire, and transform, underscoring the importance of innovative solutions in promoting autonomy, health, and quality of life for seniors.

 

The project is currently underway in Vila Real de Santo António, Monte Gordo, and Vila Nova de Cacela, engaging the community in innovative active aging experiences.
