Neuro WII: Game As A Treatment For Attention Deficit And Hyperactivity Disorders

This paper deals with the design and development of a multimedia game for the analysis and treatment of Attention Deficit Disorders with Hyperactivity (ADHD). The treatment has been planned at three levels. Each level treats a characteristic related to socialisation, integration and the expression of feelings. For this purpose, various scenarios have been described (the city, the college and the home) and the user has to pass the test related to social situations. To interact and play this game, people will use the Wiimote, chosen due to its simplicity and usability. The results produced by the game are saved in a database to be analysed by the instructors at a later date. The game contains different situations (leisure time, learning, physiotherapy) to work on the social abilities of the user. The validation of this new therapy will be carried out with the help of neuropsychology experts (from the University of Deusto), children and patients with this disorder.
