Towards a Prototype Tool Leveraging Design Patterns to Support Design of Games for Brain Injury Therapy
Pages 1532 - 1538
Abstract
In this paper, we discuss our user-centered approach in creating a game design tool prototype, GaPBIT (Game Design Patterns for Brain Injury Therapy). GaPBIT leveraged game design patterns to streamline designer-therapist collaboration when ideating games for brain injury therapy. In user studies, professional game designers expressed enthusiasm about the patterns and the GaPBIT prototype, indicating that conceptual and information tools like GaPBIT would be well received by design practitioners and help them in their work. We argue that tools like GaPBIT are promising facilitators for promoting design of games for health and could potentially be used for educating designers interested in serious games.
