Abstract:
Games are not just fun, they can also be used to generate serious benefits for people. The current popularity of smartphones endowed with sensorial, computational and communication capabilities is generating new potential. An interesting case study regards serious games for healthcare purposes and, to this aim, we focus on physiatric rehabilitation of articulations and show how to create a smartphone's serious game for this purpose. In essence, we developed a prototype for a new generation of gametherapies; our application represents a step forward with respect to traditional therapies as it allows for low-cost, ubiquitous exercises with the support of both instantaneous digital feedback from the application and continuous monitoring/interaction with a remote doctor.
