- Serious Game for Schizophrenia Rehabilitation: Design and Narrative for Patient Engagement in Life SimulatorPublication . Barros, João Victor Mayer e; Nogueira, Luis Carlos da Costa; Barroso, Bárbara Costa Vilas BoasThe work consists of a participatory design and development of the serious game Life Simulator, regarding digital technologies for innovative rehabilitation techniques, to apply psychosocial rehabilitation for patients diagnosed within the schizophrenia spectrum, focused on the negative symptomatology of the mental disorder in a randomized controlled trial study. Developed with Departamento de Psiquiatria e Saúde Mental da Unidade Local de Saúde do Nordeste, within the scope of project GreenHealth, the serious game offers an adaptable virtual reality experience, merging education with engaging gameplay through design and narrative. The project has an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary approach, with five teams that helped define project parameters in a game design document. Acting in roles such as game design, level design, and narrative design, the author took part in the pre-production and development of the game assets, accomplishing a final prototype with semi-realistic graphics made for Meta Quest 2. Its goal is to equal available rehabilitation therapy options and address workforce shortages in the region.
