Biomedical System with Serious Game and Special Device for Respiratory Rehabilitation
Abstract
The World Health Organization reports that respiratory diseases are responsible for various disabilities and one of the most common causes of deaths in all regions of the world. Respiratory Rehabilitation (RR) is the process used to treat patients with respiratory diseases and requires a systematic, repetitive and long-term approach, leading to a reduction in adherence to treatment by patients. One possibility to raise the Patients' engagement can be the use of Serious Games (JS), developed for a specific purpose other than entertainment and with participation of specialists. The objective of this research was to develop a Biomedical (SB) subject to assist the RR by means of specific hardware and a JS, with involvement and evaluation by professionals of the area of RR. Were JS design methodologies, participatory design and a questionnaire to evaluate the utility perception of SB. A process of (i) design, (ii) a SB with JS called I Blue It, (iii) a respiratory flow, dubbed PITACO, and (iv) an improved version of Seri- ous Exergame Utility Questionnarie. A JS that uses five measures was conceived of the respiratory process (expiratory and inspiratory peak, duration of expiration and inspiration, and respiratory rate) with involvement of 106 subjects in 15 iterations of design where the latter, with a group of 32 physio- therapy, the SB was assessed at 4.1 (on a scale of 1 to 5) for potential of utility to assist RR. Still as a result, this work generated three scientific articles and two awards, one of innovation by the device and another serious game. We conclude that the biomedical system with serious and device has good potential for respiratory rehabilitation.
