Case Study: ECH achieves enhanced comfort and engagement for care guests with Engagis VR, OBIE and digital signage

Enabling Confidence at Home deploys 6 VR headsets with Engagis

Enabling Confidence at Home (ECH), a major not-for-profit provider of aged care services in South Australia, faced the challenge of integrating modern technology to improve the wellbeing of guests at its innovative Care Hotel. The vendor, Engagis, provided a suite of digital solutions including the OBIE interactive gaming console, Virtual Reality (VR) systems, and digital signage to meet this need.

Engagis implemented its solutions to provide cognitive and social benefits for guests. The OBIE console and VR headsets, stored in germ-killing UVC cabinets, allow guests to play interactive games and experience immersive virtual environments, which are shown to improve mood and overall wellbeing. Engagis also installed a digital fireplace screen in a sensory room and a lobby display. These installations position ECH at the forefront of digital care solutions and are now part of a formal research study with the University of South Australia to measure their clinical efficacy.
