PROJECT
Pilot project of an interactive application for the early detection of eating disorders (ED) in adolescents.
BRIEF
In collaboration with the Government of Aragon, the A.P.E. Foundation and the Health Research Institute of Aragon (IIS Aragon), Imascono has developed an innovative interactive application for the early detection of eating disorders (ED) in adolescents. This pilot project combines gamified technology and accessibility with clinical questionnaires to identify early possible cases of ED. Facilitating interaction with children and adolescents in the detection of this type of cases that affect juvenile mental health.
The client gave us a clear challenge: to design an accessible and intuitive digital solution that would integrate validated scientific tools to address this urgent social problem such as ADD in adolescents. All in a space close to young people, familiar and fun for them, where they would feel comfortable and confident.
The development resulted in this pioneering application that is already being implemented in different educational centers in Aragon. The tool allows students to interact with gamified dynamics and avatars while taking the SCOFF test, providing immediate results and activating alerts for cases that require attention.
The experience begins with a gamified dynamic in which students interact with avatars and virtual scenarios that recreate everyday situations, at home, at school, in physical education class. During this process, they complete the SCOFF test simply and anonymously. The tool is accessible from any device and allows its use both in the classroom and at home, broadening its scope. In addition, its inclusive design and evidence-based approach ensure a practical and effective experience for users, educators and health professionals.
