Ruiqi Chen’s research investigates enhancing reminiscence therapy for dementia through Assisted Storybooks using Artificial Intelligence Generated Content (AIGC). Addressing dementia’s communication challenges, isolation, and emotional distress, the study explores technology’s potential in personalizing therapy. The research includes a VR wayfinding task for cognitive enhancement, followed by the development of three AIGC tool versions, focusing on creating visual narratives and memory-infused storybooks. This innovative approach seeks to make therapy more engaging and personalized, leveraging AI to transform verbal descriptions into visual stories, thus supporting dementia patients’ memory training and emotional well-being.
