Fear therapy for children

Abstract

Mobile devices have shown to be useful tools in supporting various procedures and therapy approaches for different purposes. However, when applied to children, particular care has to be taken, considering both their abilities and their acceptance towards the used approaches. In this paper we present mobile applications, designed specifically for children and young patients, aiming at supporting fear therapy procedures. The software was developed following a user centered design approach and offers users an intuitive and metaphor based interaction paradigm that overcomes the paper-based counterpart's limitations. We describe the design process, the software and the results that we have obtained during an exploratory trial study.
