Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to test a virtual reality (VR)-based program designed for cognitive stimulation in individuals attending the conventional cognitive rehabilitation program at the Day Hospital of CSSC (Centro Sociosanitario El Carme) in Badalona, Spain. The trial will specifically assess VR's impact on declarative memory and executive functions through interactive exercises, as well as attention and episodic memory through VR video stimuli.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Will patients with mild cognitive impairment find the VR program enjoyable and easy to use?
* Can VR interventions help improve patients' cognitive functions, specifically attention and memory?
* Do healthcare professionals find VR a practical tool for cognitive stimulation in their clinical practice?

Participants will undergo a series of 8 sessions, scheduled twice a week to coincide with the conventional rehabilitation appointments. The VR equipment used will be Oculus Quest 2 headsets, offering an immersive experience with hand-tracking technology that simplifies interactions, particularly beneficial for those with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). During the study, participants will:

* Engage with a VR-based cognitive stimulation program.
* Undergo assessments of the participants´ cognitive functions before and after the intervention.
* Provide feedback on the participants´ experience with the VR program.

Researchers will analyze the data to see if:

* The VR program leads to noticeable improvements in the cognitive abilities of participants.
* The program is well-received and deemed beneficial by both patients and healthcare professionals.
