Rachel Proffitt - One Game, Many Users

Developing games for rehabilitation and the medical field requires input from a variety of sources and stakeholders. A game for rehabilitation can have multiple potential end users, all of whom can have different requirements for the game. Rehabilitation also occurs in a variety of settings all of which have different demands on the player and the game/system. It is a challenge to incorporate the needs of multiple end users and requirements of multiple treatment settings into a single game for rehabilitation. This talk will discuss the challenges of creating a rehabilitation game for multiple end users and the methods used to overcome the challenges. A prototype game for rehabilitation, Mystic Isle, will be used as an example to highlight specific methods, including the user centered design cycle, multiple iterations, and stakeholder engagement through user testing and focus groups.
