Summary

Our aim was to describe the development and usability of a mobile device-based game therapy software for ADHD.

A total of 51 ADHD children and 52 healthy children were included in the study. At baseline, subjects underwent tests such as ADHD symptom-related scale assessments, computer-assisted information processing tests, and physiological-psychological tests, after which participants completed a 4-week game intervention training at home. After complete completion of the intervention, subjects repeated all tests from the baseline period and answered treatment satisfaction questions.

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	a serious mobile device-based game prototype (Save the Muse Home)	The cognitive impairment corresponding to the symptoms, which we are interested in, focuses on executive inhibition, motor inhibition, sustained attention, selective attention, working memory, and planning ability. The training content will be presented in different scenarios as effective training components. The story line of the warrior breakthrough runs through the whole game, each level is adapted according to the functional damage areas of different patients, and each level involves reward and punishment mechanisms to keep the interest of the players, the difficulty gradient of each level is kept moderate, and the game includes design elements such as space, time, object attributes, actions, rules, skills, and probabilities, etc., which ultimately completes Save the Muse Home, a serious game for the treatment of ADHD.
