Exclusive U.S. distribution brings senior living teams portable immersive experiences designed to fit into everyday care ST. LOUIS — October 22, 2026 — Eugeria today announced the U.S. commercial availability of Lumeen, an immersive virtual reality platform already used in more than 900 healthcare settings internationally. Through its exclusive U.S. distribution partnership, Eugeria is bringing Lumeen to senior living communities across the country ahead of its U.S. debut at the 2026 LeadingAge Annual Meeting. As mobility, vision, hearing and cognitive needs change, a resident’s world can become smaller. Experiences that once felt ordinary — an outing, a favorite place, a change of scenery — can become harder to access. Lumeen was created to help open that world back up. With more than 150 curated experiences spanning travel, nature, relaxation and reminiscence, residents can explore somewhere new, revisit somewhere familiar or simply spend a few minutes in a different environment — without leaving the community. Staff can also run synchronized experiences across multiple headsets, see what residents are seeing from the tablet, and use built-in prompts to encourage conversation before, during and after the experience. VR is already familiar to many care organizations. The challenge is making it something teams can actually use throughout the day. Lumeen is lightweight and portable, launches in under 3 minutes, fits over eyeglasses and can run core experiences without Wi-Fi. “The opportunity with VR isn’t to add another device to the care team’s day. It’s to create more meaningful moments for residents, in ways staff can actually sustain,” said Valerie Larochelle, CEO of Eugeria. “The real return comes when the technology works beyond the demo — on a Tuesday morning, on a resident’s birthday, and months after the team has been trained. That’s what stood out to us about Lumeen. And it’s where Eugeria plays an important role: helping teams turn great technology into something that becomes part of everyday care.” Eugeria will provide training and ongoing support as Lumeen rolls out across the U.S., helping communities integrate the technology into resident engagement as teams and needs change. U.S. pilot programs are already underway with major senior living partners in Missouri, Texas and California, with early communities exploring how Lumeen can fit across group programming, one-to-one experiences and other moments throughout the day. Lumeen will be available to experience at the 2026 LeadingAge Annual Meeting in Philadelphia, October 25–28. Learn more and see where Lumeen can take you here.

A Virtual Reality solution developed in Europe, with an interface and content adapted to the specific needs of people living with cognitive disorders.The Alzheimer Society of Montreal innovates, gaining early access to the technology. Montreal, August 11, 2026  The Alzheimer Society of Montreal is among the first organizations in the country to adopt Lumeen, a virtual reality headset built with a caregiver-facing interface and a suite of content designed for the specific needs of people living with Alzheimer's disease or other neurocognitive disorders. The initiative marks the official Canadian launch of Lumeen, led by Eugeria, a Montreal-based company known for its rigorous approach to improving the quality of life of people living with cognitive disorders and those around them. Technology built for and with the people it serves While offering virtual reality to people living with neurocognitive disorders isn't a new idea, it does require a deep understanding of this specific population's needs. Unlike consumer VR headsets, Lumeen was built specifically to deliver immersive experiences in a therapeutic context.   Content offered to people living with cognitive disorders is selected and adapted to provide meaningful stimulation — travel, nature, music, relaxation — without causing sensory overload. The goal: to bring back memories, stimulate cognitive function, and create positive emotions for the people using it. ”We explored different options for offering virtual reality experiences to our clients living with neurocognitive disorders. The Lumeen headsets will let our participants in our activity centre enjoy a pleasant experience, well suited to their needs. We're thrilled to be launching this turnkey project, which was truly designed with them in mind.” — Raffaela Cavaliere, Respite and Stimulation Activities Coordinator, Alzheimer Society of Montreal The solution also stands out for its tablet-based control interface, which lets a family caregiver or care professional guide the experience in real time: choosing the content, adjusting the intensity, and seeing exactly what the person sees. This relational dimension sits at the heart of Lumeen's philosophy. "At Eugeria, the first condition for us to stand behind a product is that it has to be genuinely useful for the people we serve, both in concept and in its features. We chose Lumeen after a rigorous evaluation of its benefits for people living with cognitive disorders." — Valérie Larochelle, CEO, Eugeria A partnership grounded in real-world care The Alzheimer Society of Montreal chose to bring Lumeen into its programming after evaluating its potential to improve the quality of life of the people it supports. By acting as a visibility partner for this launch, the organization is reaffirming its commitment to innovative, person-centered approaches.

Developed specifically around the cognitive and emotional needs of people living with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia, Memory Lane TV differs from regular television programming in 2 major ways. First, the absence of plot- and character-dependent stories responds to the specific challenges of memory loss. Second, the filmed content is created intentionally, from subject matter to editing speed, to support varied needs from relaxation to reminiscence, along with supporting daily rhythm with time-of-day programming.
