Abstract

Adaptability to the needs of end-users has been identified as a key requirement for technologies designed to support mental health interventions. The PlayWrite system allows end users - mental healthcare professionals - to create and adapt therapeutic 3D computer games, which can then be used to support adolescent interventions. PlayWrite has enabled the creation of games that implement a range of theoretical approaches to mental health interventions and target a broad range of disorders. Here we discuss the initial findings regarding the design, clinical evaluations and adaptation strategies used in PlayWrite.
