No buy any China "certified" ink that for sure.

This sounds awesome. Hopefully you get it released commercially (and in different languages) so more of us that could use it can try it out. Subscribed to your YT just in case :)

I always imagined many of the obnoxious vestibular and visual therapy exercises could be gamified to VR. Which could be huge for moderate/severe TBI, but even for mild concussion/PCS and vestibular patients, which would open up a far wider audience and potentially help lots of folks by having an engaging, fun, and safe way to rehab.

how can i get accepted into ETH, as an american citizen?

What should be my starting point to het into game design?

No prior knowledge in this space

It can be, it is more on the hospital side than the software side though. But I am sure software can be used to help!

I do not have that much time to play, but World of Tanks. Looking forward to Baldurs Gate 3 :)

Thank you for being here <3

This warms my heart so much. Thank you for doing this, and thank you for replying ❤️

They already use non-human relationships in PTSD treatment, think animal assisted therapy! Using animals has proven to be incredibly effective in improving PTSD symptoms.

There’s even a robot that provides emotional support for people with dementia and alzheimers (though there are ethical concerns about that, saying a robot “only provides the illusion of a relationship”).

What games are you playing now or looking forward to in the future?

Is psychological therapy part of brain trauma rehabilitation? I know a guy from Norway who specializes on that.

It is only available in Norway currently. We are looking to sell the project for further development and internationalization now. But hopefully that can happen :)

That's great to hear! Any chance this could become GA soon? And, would it only be accessible via rehab centers? Also, thank you for your time and hard work on this, it definitely gives us hope!

I think so. Some of the severely afflicted patients were the ones that gave us the highest praise. Every patient is unique - so testing it is the only real way of telling though.

I'm late here but hopefully you see this! What was the severity level of stroke patients? My mother (in her 50s) is mostly incapacitated, she can understand us but can't really verbally respond. Really only can speak names. Amazingly, she CAN sing songs when they are sung to her or being played on a speaker. Anyway, do you think with people with her level of injury would have some positive impact with the VR?

I'm a game designer as well, fresh into the field. This sounds amazing and what I entered the industry looking for. I did my final year project at university on using game based learning to train technical skills, but I haven't been able to find many companies that do that sort of thing.

How did manage to build a company based around this? Anything I should keep in mind about how to do it myself?

It isn’t much different from software like Beat Saber and similar when it comes to requirements. However, we’ve gone through conformity assessments in a ROS analysis to make sure patient data is sufficiently protected.

If the software was to be developed further it would be sensible to start extended clinical trials.

isnt a software like this a class III medical device? are you planning on doing the full conformity assessment process if it qualifies as such?

Thanks for your response. I was hoping for some brain retraining exercises, I heard that works better than masking but haven't been able to find anything yet. Years ago there were some options on youtube but ever since the "misinformation" purge it's been harder to find those kinds of things.

Outcomes are very hard to quantify without extensive trials, however we know that exercise and rehab is important for these groups as well.

Had they been more persistent, Magnavox could have been a major player in the industry.

Oh! This makes me think about people who are born w lessened ability in their hands/arms like palsy vs those who endured an injury? Are there any differences in play, outcomes, etc?
