So this is the story of how research has managed to develop a serious videogame, for a serious purpose."
Patients are testing a videogame specially developed to help them to recognise their emotions and to regain self-control.

"For instance, the videogame can teach my patient to raise her tolerance to frustration, to lose impulsivity
The same videogame helps them to relax their muscles, raise their exercise performance and maintain discipline in their training.
"The videogame has been developed under a European Research project called Playmancer. Game developers, psychologists and therapists worked together on tailoring the right scenarios for both pain rehabilitation and mental health treatments.
Videogames are entertaining and motivating, so we thought they can provide effective complimentary therapies in different diseases.

"Indeed, the videogame identifies boredom, excitement or anxiety in patients-and their cognitive responses-with the help of emotion recognition technologies and biosensors.
We know from scientific literature that these online videogames are highly addictive to certain vulnerable users.
So we asked developers to just provide a simple videogame that a patient can play alone
Patients are supposed always to play the videogame under medical supervision. And this scientists say, is a huge difference compared to existing commercial videogames that already recognise users'movements."
"When you play a commercial game, there are, for instance, moves that you can fake. Because you are just using a console.
"explains Stephanie Jansen-Kosterink So how long will it be before you can get a videogame prescription for certain mental disorders or physical rehabilitation?
The research proves therapeutical videogames can be useful for certain patients. Now scientists say it is up to policymakers to play the game.
