Study Details

Schizophrenia is a common and severe mental disorder that imposes a significant burden on patients. Cognitive impairment can be regarded as one of the core symptoms of schizophrenia, which is prevalent among patients with schizophrenia. In recent years, digital rehabilitation therapy based on games has shown a remarkable development trend among schizophrenia patients. Serious games, or application games, refer to those games aimed not only for entertainment. They can educate, train, or change the behavior of players through interesting intervention forms and have been applied in many healthcare fields. This study aims to develop a somatosensory interactive game for patients with cognitive impairment of schizophrenia to improve their cognitive functions and verify its effectiveness and feasibility through a randomized controlled trial.
