Tabak, M. and Marin-Perianu, R.S. and Hermens, H.J. (2012) A serious game for COPD patients to perform physiotherapeutic exercises. In: Nationale Longdagen 2012, 12-14 April 2012, Utrecht, Netherlands. pp. 56-57. Book of abstracts. Netherlands Respiratory Society.
The goal of this research was 1) to investigate the usability of the Orange Submarine game, and 2) to explore the changes in saturation and pulse rate in COPD patients while playing the game. The game was positively received by the patients and could provide a new fun way for performing exercises, either at home or as part of the regular treatment.
