Emoticare: Serious Game for the Adaptation to the Disease of Adolescents With Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus.
Sponsor: University of Valencia
Summary
The intervention program targets adolescents with chronic Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus. Given the critical developmental stage and life transitions, necessitating robust personal resources, psychological support becomes imperative. To foster socioemotional skills and overall well-being, particularly crucial for averting future emotional issues and promoting a healthier, more fulfilling life, this support is especially vital for those dealing with chronic illnesses. Such conditions pose a risk for psychological problems, potentially complicating treatment and prognosis. Presently, digital and technological platforms are integrating psychological interventions for patients with chronic diseases, showcasing an innovative approach to address psychological challenges. The platform integrates new technologies for assessment and intervention. Ecological Momentary Assessment enables real-time evaluation, with data transferred to the technological platform. Artificial intelligence personalizes interventions based on participants' socio-demographic characteristics and assessment results. Ecological Momentary Intervention is employed for in-context treatments in participants' daily lives and natural environments. A serious game method, proven effective in various interventions, is used to engage adolescents and young people intrinsically. The game encompasses six main areas aligning with theoretical models, facilitating the development of socio-emotional competencies, and promoting physical and psychological health. It addresses different aspects of psychological and subjective well-being, reinforcing resources needed to navigate vital changes in these developmental stages, especially when living with a chronic illness.

EmoTiCare
The EMOTICARE technological platform intervenes in users through a serious game, i.e. a video game whose main purpose is to teach or provide the player with certain skills that serve to achieve a higher purpose than the game itself. The game works in 6 areas, each of which refers to one of the variables that are analysed or considered important in the adaptation to the disease: Area 1. Psychoeducation of DM1; 2. Emotional awareness and expression; 3. Emotional regulation; 4. Problem solving; 5. Self-esteem and identity;6. Social skills and communication
