Hi Dr Nassar

I'm a Speech Pathologist in Australia. I work as a part of a VR clinic providing rehabilitation for stroke and Neurology patients. We have anecdotally seen great response with physical, cognitive and mood in our patients. We are partnered with a university to conduct some research.

We use mostly existing games that are VR compatible. I have two questions for you:

I am looking at how I would go about creating a clinical informed game. What is your process from concept to finished product, and do you have any advice for transferring and incorporating evidenced based practice and best practice into a video game format?

Have you conducted any research on your software? Any tips for journals or resources? I'd love to build a body of evidence for this approach to therapy, but I'm not sure where to look.

All the best.

Edit: PS I am currently playing FFXIV!

Hi Doctors

I am a Speech Pathologist with a background in brain injury rehabilitation. Part of my role includes anosmia testing and therapy.

My question is from a rehabilitation perspective: Do you have any guesses on what the mechanism of the anosmia might be? If so, what approach to rehabilitation would you use to promote sense of smell and taste?

​

Thanks for your time!
