How VR interventions alleviate apathy can be explained by a biomedical model and a psychosocial model. The biomedical model suggests that VR allows users to interact with a virtual, enriched environment, which triggers the reorganization and reconstruction of new cellular synapses to repair the brain lesions causing apathy, which refers to the neuroplasticity of the brain and nervous system [15].

Apathy is a neurological disorder with a high prevalence found in older adults living in residential aged care facilities [1,2]. Characterized as a lack of interest and diminished motivation [3], the presence of apathy results in reduced goal-directed behavior [4,5], which can result in withdrawal from activities. In long-term residential aged care facilities, lower engagement in activities and social interaction is associated with poorer quality of life [6].

Apathy is a debilitating symptom: it significantly decreases the quality of life of patients with NCD and their caregivers and increases the risk for institutionalization in outpatients [3] and mortality for nursing home residents (even after controlling for depression) [4]. Apathy has also been associated with faster cognitive and functional decline [5,6].

Using Virtual Reality to Improve Apathy in Residential Aged Care: Mixed Methods Study
Apathy is one of the most common symptoms of neurological and psychiatric disorders such as dementia [1-3]. A lack of motivation is the defining feature of apathy, resulting in a reduction of goal-directed behavior [4]. Apathy contributes to a poorer quality of life and a faster rate of cognitive decline [5,6]. In addition, the risk of mortality in those with apathy increases 3-fold compared with those without apathy [7].

Pharmacological therapies have demonstrated limited efficacy in the management of apathy associated with NCDs and neuropsychiatric conditions [13]. However, nonpharmacological treatments, including cognitive training via serious games and virtual reality, are considered promising approaches for apathy management in people with NCDs [14-16].
The use of information and communication technology (ICT) in the health domain is progressively expanding.
