serious toys

I have been investigating serious toys as a technology to assist childrens suffering from chronic or accute coniditions. One of the first project was Nakama developed as a tangible "Tamagotchi" designed for childrens suffering from psoriasis.

The serious toys are being developed in cooperation with Philip HAMPTON, a dermatology consultant at the Royal Victoria Infirmary.

 
Nakama: A toy for psoriasis sufferers  

Nakama was developed by Jack CADZOW that I suppervised for his bachelor project at Northumbria University.
