ESCOLA DE VERÃO: COGNIÇÃO E VIDEOJOGOS PARA A PANDEMIA 2020 - CVP'20

HEI-Lab intends to actively contribute to the higher qualification of students with training that supports changing the paradigm of face-to-face clinical intervention to a basic online intervention. This objective is particularly pressing in these times. The confinement caused the involuntary confinement of many psychiatric and neurological patients, who no longer had the support of their therapists in person.

Digital solutions in the context of mental health has been a relevant research topic in recent years. The HEI-Lab team has been developing and validating digital solutions - video games for therapeutic purposes - since 2004, which can be used via the internet to treat different neuropsychological conditions (http://bit.ly/heilabchannel).

CVP'20 aims to continue with ongoing studies, providing skills in creating serious games for online psychological intervention. This information is detailed in the different projects submitted by students who seek to complement their training with R&D internships at HEI-Lab.
