Technology as an Ally: Renewed Resilience and Spirituality Through the Impact of Augmented Reality (AR) in the Context of Dementia and Cognitive Impairment

Summary/Abstract: Augmented reality (AR) is a resource that, when applied to people with dementia and cognitive impairment, reduces the latency of response to stimuli and facilitates the development of personal abili- ties, with greater autonomy and quality of life.Broadening the range of an individual’s functioning has an impact not only on an operational level, but also on a spiritual level. The auton- omy provided by AR impacts the person’s self-awareness and allows them to recognize themselves as an agent of change capable of ac- tively and consciously triggering cognitive processes. In other words, it strengthens their internal control center, which is referred to in the scientific literature as a pillar of resilience. At the same time, identity empowerment benefits the spiritual health of the person, linked to resil- ience and referred to as a factor in health and emotional well-being.
