Using self-reported Patient Health Questionnaire-8 (PHQ-8) data from 1717 US and UK players, changes were monitored weekly over a 6-week period. The study focused on the game's ability to integrate emotional well-being elements and various mental health assessments to facilitate self-monitoring and improvement of players' emotional states. <b><i>Results:</i></b> There was a significant overall time effect (<i>F</i> = 154.498, df = 1711, <i>P</i> < 0.001), indicating a moderate-to-large effect size, with progressive decreases in PHQ-8 scores throughout the period. About 60% of players reported reduced depressive symptom severity, with around 35% experiencing complete symptom relief. More significant improvements were observed in players with higher initial severity. No correlations were found between symptom changes and demographic data or the number of active playing days. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> Goodville demonstrates potential as a digital mental health intervention in reducing depressive symptoms through its specific characteristics designed to improve emotional well-being.

With respect to the diversity of available games, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of using serious games to assess the cognitive status of the elderly at risk of MCI/AD. A systematic review was conducted and the correlation of serious game results with cognitive test scores were extracted from eligible studies for meta-analysis. We analyzed the correlation between the results of serious games with the scores of mini-mental state examination (MMSE), Addenbrooke's Cognitive Examination-revised edition (ACE-R), and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) tests to evaluate cognitive status of the elderly at risk of MCI/AD, as well as the cognitive aspects examined by these tests. The random-effects model was used to obtain the overall correlation coefficient to assess the relationship between the results of serious games and the above mentioned paper-and-pencil tests. The correlation of game results with the MMSE, ACE-R, and MoCA was 0.604, 0.682, with 0.682, respectively. The correlation between the results of the games with the score of each cognitive aspect was also calculated. Overall, there is a positive correlation between serious game scores in terms of accurate patients' reactions with the scores of MMSE, ACE-R, and MoCA tests. Among the cognitive aspects, the highest correlation was obtained for fluency (0.591). For abstraction, however, the correlation was the lowest (0.036). In all three tests, the correlation was >0.6 and in cognitive aspects was <0.6. Thus, more studies should be conducted to develop serious games that are more in line with cognitive tests.","PeriodicalId":47401,"journal":{"name":"Games for Health Journal","volume":"38 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2024-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142259450","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
