Participants were asked to perform a variety of simple tasks while wearing a simulator that affected their vision, hearing, and sense of balance, to mimic what it is like to have dementia.
"It was really incredible to be able to imagine what it's like to be in someone's shoes who struggles with dementia," said one participant.
"It made me way more empathetic to the needs of the patient," said another attendee.
