= 0.037), which may suggest enhanced cognitive flexibility. Other measures, including Mini-Mental State Examination, Montreal Cognitive Assessment, Digit Span, and Symbol Digit Modalities Test, showed trends toward improvement but did not reach statistical significance. These exploratory findings align with the short duration of the intervention and the study's feasibility focus. The iterative, user-centered design process ensured the intervention was accessible, safe, and adaptable to participants' needs and clinical workflow. These findings suggest that VR-based cognitive stimulation programs are highly usable and acceptable and show potential for improving cognitive performance in older adults with MCI. Further research with larger sample sizes and longer intervention periods is warranted to evaluate clinical impact and functional outcomes.
