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 training is focused both on memory and executive functions and is possible to combine the two tasks according to the needs of the patients. 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.

Abstract
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 training is focused both on memory and executive functions and is possible to combine the two tasks according to the needs of the patients. 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.
