In this paper we describe our work with the development of a novel computer game supporting speech therapy for children who stutter. We discuss the motivation for our work, the theoretical background, and outline the plans and strategies for the development process. Finally, we describe a preliminary study carried out to evaluate the potential of integrating computer games in speech therapy for...

UNLABELLED Game theory suggests an anti-cancer treatment based on the use of modified cancer cells that disrupt cooperation within the tumor. Cancer cells are harvested from the patient, the genes for the production of essential growth factors are knocked out in vitro and the cells are then reinserted in the tumor, where they lead to its collapse. BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Current anti-cancer...

As hemophilia is a chronic bleeding diseaseand can interfere with daily performanceof children, these children require continuoustraining to prevent bleeding and take timely action(1). Since children nurses play an important role inthe education of involved children and their Selfefficacyand also due to today’s approach whichis using educational computer games, the use ofeducational games in re...

In this paper, we present the research result related to a game application system which improves the symmetry of the left and right brain activity for alleviating the emotional disorders such as anxiety and depression. Since the characteristics of patients with affective disorders are less willing to therapy. obvious motivation is needed in general. To provide a strong incentive for these pati...

The aim of this study was to review the existing literature on game-based digital interventions for depression systematically and examine their effectiveness through a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Database searching was conducted using specific search terms and inclusion criteria. A standard meta-analysis was also conducted of available RCT studies with a random effects...

In this study, a simulation model is built to study the body water regulation and its disorders by focusing on the fundamental feedback mechanisms in the normal and disease physiology. This model is then extended to include related therapeutic interventions of the most common body fluid disorder, namely water intoxication/ hyponatremia, and a game version is produced to test the possible effect...

OBJECTIVE The aims of this work were to determine whether game-based constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) is effective at improving balance ability in patients with stroke, and to provide clinical knowledge of game-based training that allows application of CIMT to the lower extremities. DESIGN Thirty-six patients with chronic stroke were randomly assigned to game-based CIMT (n = 12), ge...
