Terms and conditions of use of the iPROLEPSIS Games
1. Introduction
iPROLEPSIS Games provide the end user with the option to interact with a personalised game suite with the aim to prevent the inflammation in PsA patients by supporting key health aspects, i.e., fitness, diet, mood, motor skills, and breathing, combined (in some games) with biofeedback and sensorimotor art-based approaches for stress/fatigue/pain soothing and management. During those games, data will be collected, depending on the type of games recommended to each patient by the clinicians based on their individual needs and prior to their participation. For this purpose, the evaluation phase of the envisaged framework will be taking place through the use of the iPROLEPSIS Games.
The iPROLEPSIS Games were developed within the framework of the EU-funded research project iPROLEPSIS. This connection to the iPROLEPSIS project is reflected throughout the Terms and Conditions, including references to the clinical and technical partners involved in its development and implementation.
In order to use our services, the end user agrees to all the following terms and conditions of use of iPROLEPSIS Games.
