< BACK Highlights from PETRA 2024 Jul 1, 2024 The iPROLEPSIS Exergames Introduced at PETRA 2024 The iPROLEPSIS Exergames were introduced and received very positively by the audience at PETRA 2024, a scientific interdisciplinary conference held on 26-28 June 2024 in Crete, Greece. Developing Exergames for Psoriatic Arthritis using Agile Storyboarding and Game Design Processes Abstract: Serious Games (SGs) offer significant potential in healthcare for disease assessment and intervention, enhancing patients’ quality of life. Exercise SGs, or Exergames, promote physical activity and mobility in a gamified environment, encouraging tailored exercises based on individual abilities and needs. Here, within the Horizon Europe iPROLEPSIS project that targets Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA), we describe the design process of Exergames to address PsA symptoms, including morning stiffness, impaired finger/hand and wrist functionality, and motor asymmetry. From a methodological point of view, the storyboarding technique was adopted to facilitate the visualization of the proposed Exergame scenarios, including the graphical user interface, interactive game elements, narratives, characters, and contexts related to the PsA condition. This approach has been implemented within an agile game development methodology, which includes gathering feedback early on to iteratively refine both the game ideas and prototype. Informed by the results of the game design via two agile sessions incorporating 25 participants (PsA patients, clinicians, technology developers, facilitators/observers), the current efforts are focused on developing the game prototypes and corresponding mock-ups, preparing them for upcoming clinical validation trials. The Exergames development lays the groundwork for an innovative framework to improve gross and fine motor symptoms in PsA patients. This framework could inform healthcare providers and policymakers about its potential inclusion in routine PsA management.

< BACK User Research and Co-Creation Aug 4, 2023 User Research and Co-Creation are at the core of iPROLEPSIS research process Within iPROLEPSIS , several Digital Health Tools (DHTs) will be developed with the aim to early detect the transition to PsA in PsO patients, to predict flares to allow for early intervention, and to generate personalised recommendations and personalised interventions that help manage the disease. The different DHTs to be developed are: miPROLEPSIS patient app; miPROLEPSIS healthcare practitioner dashboard; biAURA biaural sounds app; Personalised recommendation system; Personalised Gaming Suite (PGS). At iPROLEPSIS , User Research and Co-Creation form the foundation of the research process. Diverse qualitative and quantitative research methods have been employed, including interviews, observations, surveys, and usability testing, to gather data and refine our healthcare solutions. One key approach has been conducting 10 focus groups with Dutch, English, Portuguese, and Greek Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) patients . Four prominent themes emerged from the focus group discussions: Disease Activity, Coping, Care Experience, Digital Biomarkers. To obtain more specific input from a broader population of PsA patients, a survey was created. The survey consisted of 5 sections dedicated to the following: Demographics & Technological Experience ; miPROLEPSIS Patient App - Content and Appearance; BiAURA App – Preferences; Personalised Serious Gaming Suite – Content and Appearance. Key highlights of the insights gained include: Creation of a Patient Experience Map . Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) has a great impact on the life of those affected. Emotional wellbeing is highly related to the experienced disease activity fluctuating over time. The patient experience map relates the level of disease activity over time to the level of emotional wellbeing in a graph. The graph was created to empathise with our end users and indicate where our Digital Health Solutions might be able to help with improving their Emotional Wellbeing during various stages of disease. Development of User Personas . Engaging and relatable descriptions of user needs and desires, guiding user-centered design principles for our digital products. User Requirement Updates. Refinement of User Requirements for the Digital Health Tools based on focus group findings, ensuring that our tools meet the real needs of PsA patients. iPROLEPSIS is committed to advancing Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) management through cutting-edge technology and empathetic design.
