Enhanced Game Design to Accelerate Learning, targeted to offset Late Effects as a result of Child Cancer Treatment.

*Digital Me


*Late Effects

*Many children will experience Cognitive Decline and reduced Social Acceptance after being treated for Childhood Cancer.

This is particularly evident with young girls.


*ADHD, Autism

*Cognitive Learning has also been proven to help with ADHD, Autism, and General Learning Disabilities.


*Recursive Learning

Theory

*The Digital Me project is based on 10 years of in-depth research and prototyping, resulting in a proven framework of game-based learning methodology and toolsets.


*Game Based Learning

*Digital Me is a library of games that are linked to an onscreen, age appropriate and customisable character, designed to accelerate learning.


*Cognitive Learning

*Using “Recursive Learning Theory” the character will guide the user through the learning process in a playful game environment, proven to accelerate learning by up to 2.5 times over traditional methods.


*iPad, iPhone, iPod

*The proposed application and associated games, focus on creating an environment that motivates the user to persistently re-engage, fostering the drill and practice of cognitive skills through interactive play.


*iPad, iPhone, iPod

*The application will also provide features such as reminding the user to complete real-life tasks (like take medications), all in a safe virtual environment with parental control or clinical supervision.


*iPad, iPhone, iPod

*The application interface centers around a 3D animated character, which can be customized to reflect the personality of the user.


*The proposed application and included game modules will fully comply with accessibility guidelines for mobile devices, as documented by the Able Gamers foundation (2012).

*Initially, this app will support 6 languages (English, German, French, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese), and will eventually support all iOS character sets.

*The app will provides XML data for importing to other analysis programs for parental and clinical monitoring.

*Crowd-Funding support has been sourced for the completion of this project. Development details and project timeline are available online.



*The application will been developed in stages and released to the target market for usability testing using an iterative development process.



*Promotion will be via social networks and media sharing:

*www.facebook.com/DigitalMeProject



*Support from Clinicians….

*Director of Research Children’s Cancer Research, "This project needs to be done, I can see many advantages”

*CEO Starship Hospital "Yes, for young cancer patients and be of benefit for others dealing with brain issues from illnesses”

*Leading Child Psychologist, “makes perfect sense, digital games could be a powerful intervention, great work!”



*This project will be completed, but will get there faster with public and financial support. Please share on your social networks and donate to the cause.
