DeapSea: Workflow-Supported Serious Game Design for Stroke Rehabilitation
The design and development of a serious game are complex due to different and often numerous stakeholders involved. Different guidelines for general best practices exist, but those are not specific and often do not include therapists or patients as essential stakeholders especially in the context of...

| description | The design and development of a serious game are complex due to different and often numerous stakeholders involved. Different guidelines for general best practices exist, but those are not specific and often do not include therapists or patients as essential stakeholders especially in the context of individualisation of a serious games. Although there are a lot of serious games in the area of (stroke) rehabilitation, design guidelines and indications of what is important are quite scarce. Identifying individualisation possibilities to adapt a serious game to the specific needs of patients was identified to support and improve the design and outcome of serious game development. A literature research and the analysis of previously designed serious games created the foundation for this research. The identified configuration possibilities, additional requirements, and the developed workflow were then evaluated with the gathered insights of therapists trough an online survey. 20 generic configuration possibilities for therapists, as well as seven requirements, were identified and are presented, which can be used when designing a serious game in the context of stroke. In addition a workflow, called “DeapSea” is proposed for supporting the design as well. These results should be used as an addition to already established design recommendations to deliver an adaptable and flexible serious game in the area of stroke—helping to fulfill individual patient needs from the point of therapists and other involved medical stakeholders within the rehabilitation process. |
