Digital Games in Health
Lorcan Dempsey mentions the presentation of John Kirrimuir (without beard) about Gaming & Libraries at the 4th day of the TICER course. I had to miss that, but that was compensated with having a good talk about "pet training" at the opening dinner with John Kirrimuir himself.
Here's what he calls examples of use in Health:
- Pain relief and distraction
- Rehabilitation
- Surgery skill increase
- Diabetes awareness
- Easing carpal tunnel syndrome
- Mental health and sharpness (Brain Train!)
- Acting out domestic and social situations
- Social and communication development

Hi,
The Ticer event was good fun - but also much hard work. It was also good to meet you there.
I'm still collecting feedback on the "games and libraries" presentation; comments and relevant examples welcome.
Regards,
John Kirriemuir
