Abstract(s)
Os Jogos Sérios constituem uma ferramenta relevante na área da reabilitação, contribuindo para o aumento da motivação dos pacientes na realização das tarefas que compõem o seu programa de recuperação. Na sequência do estudo de um conjunto de caraterísticas que permita inovar e melhorar os processos de terapia cognitiva, tornando-os mais motivadores para os pacientes, desenvolveu-se uma plataforma web composta por um conjunto de jogos que procuram integrar as características pensadas. Neste artigo apresentam-se os jogos sérios atualmente implementados como parte da plataforma, bem como os resultados dos testes realizados de forma a avaliar a sua usabilidade e atratividade. De forma geral, os participantes reportaram uma experiência de jogo positiva em relação a todos os jogos, registando valores mais altos nas vertentes multiplayer e de competição. Espera-se futuramente alargar os testes realizados a uma população com vários tipos de limitações.
Serious Games are an important tool in health rehabilitation, contributing to increase the motivation of patients in the completion of tasks included in their recovery programs. Following the study of the set of features which can be used to improve cognitive therapy processes, making them more motivating for the patients, we develop a web platform composed of a set of games that seek to integrate the proposed features. In this paper we present the serious games currently deployed in the platform and the results of user tests performed in order to evaluate its usability and attractiveness. Overall, subjects reported a positive gaming experience for all the games, registering the highest values in the multiplayer and competition aspects. We intend in the future to test the games on a population with various kinds of limitations.
