Design and Evaluation of a Serious Game for Young Haemato-Oncological Patients

Design and Evaluation of a Serious Game for Young Haemato-Oncological Patients

Abstract

We present LUDIK, a serious game project for pediatric haemato-oncological patients, including 5 differently scoped mini-games, designed to produce interpretable game score data. A playable game client and the overall system approach were evaluated by children of the target age group through a survey. Our results indicate clear acceptance of the general approach and system design. The presented mini-games were evaluated separately regarding fun and usability. Except for one mini-game, the results are indicating high acceptance and engagement, and very good usability for the age group in question.
