Cognitive Frailty is one of the most common age-related disabilities in elderly. The two most damage cognitive domain in these patients are memory and executive functions. An innovative virtual reality-based training program for the rehabilitation of cognitive frail patients are proposed.

The program could be done both with low-end (personal computer) and high-end (CAVE) virtual reality systems to guarantee the continuity of treatment from the hospital to home.
