A Serious Games Platform for Cognitive Rehabilitation with Preliminary Evaluation. Journal of Medical Systems, 41(1), 10. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10916-016-0656-5http://hdl.handle.net/10400.22/14272In recent years Serious Games have evolved substantially, solving problems in diverse areas. In particular, in Cognitive Rehabilitation, Serious Games assume a relevant role. Traditional cognitive therapies are often considered repetitive and discouraging for patients and Serious Games can be used to create more dynamic rehabilitation processes, holding patients' attention throughout the process and motivating them during their road to recovery. This paper reviews Serious Games and user interfaces in rehabilitation area and details a Serious Games platform for Cognitive Rehabilitation that includes a set of features such as: natural and multimodal user interfaces and social features (competition, collaboration, and handicapping) which can contribute to augment the motivation of patients during the rehabilitation process. The web platform was tested with healthy subjects. Results of this preliminary evaluation show the motivation and the interest of the participants by playing the games.engCognition DisordersEye MovementsFacial ExpressionHumansInterpersonal RelationsMotivationPattern Recognition, AutomatedSpeech Recognition SoftwareUser-Computer InterfaceMovementVideo Gamesjournal article10.1007/s10916-016-0656-5
