| Criterion | Weight | Max |
|---|---|---|
| Creative use of gamesIs it a game, or a questionnaire with a score on the end? The play itself should be doing the work: the reason it holds attention should be the reason it helps. | 1 | 10 |
| Clinical relevanceDoes this address a problem someone here actually has? A clear answer to who it is for and what goes wrong for them today beats a clever idea looking for a use. | 1 | 10 |
| FeasibilityCould this reach a ward or a clinic? Who would run it, what does it need, and what would have to be true first. Judge the path, not the polish. | 1 | 10 |
| Potential impactIf it worked, who would it help and by how much? A small gain for many people and a large gain for a few can both score well. What matters is that it is clear which one this is. | 1 | 10 |
They play every entry and score it against the rubric below.

Challenge: Behavioural observation in paediatric mental health
ChallengeBot is a game platform for lateral thinking, higher order thinking and creative development. So far we've been developing it for educational, academic purposes. After reading Dr. Hen Meltzer's breif we feel the same platform we are working on can fit the requirments for behavioral observation and we'd like to see how to make a fitting version for this purpose.
?Conch (Autism Spectrum challenge)
Led by Gadi Zimerman · 1 of 5 · looking for Content, QA, Marketing, Design, Community
Challenge: Teaching social skills on the autism spectrum
Conch is a platform for voice-driven adventures where every step forward is a "gate" that opens when the player does something meaningful. Because the gate is the skill itself, one engine can train social acts for autism or the Stop, Plan, Execute, Check, Revise loop for ADHD. It's audio-first, low-pressure, and playable by voice or text. Every attempt is logged, so therapists see exactly where a child got stuck, and they can build new scenarios just by describing them.

Challenge: Gesture-controlled rehab for wrist pain
This project proposes a game controlled entirely through hand gestures tracked by a smartphone or PC webcam. Instead of pressing buttons or keys, players perform the exact physiotherapy movements needed for wrist rehabilitation, once those movements are confirmed by a doctor, physiotherapist, or hand therapist.

The balance wave
Led by Kerenk · 2 of 5
משחק קצב טיפולי לקרקוע וויסות חרדה ל PTSD, המטופח עוקב אחר מטוטלת אופקית כדי לקבל גירוי בילטרלי מרגיע. המשחקיות מבוססת על "קצב הפוך" (Inverse Pacing): ככל שהשחקן מדייק, המשחק מאיט, התצוגה נפתחת, ומערכת העצבים נמשכת לרוגע באופן לא-מודע. המשחק מנטר סטרס בזמן אמת דרך פנוטיפ דיגיטלי (זמן תגובה, שטח מגע ורעידות מכשיר) ומתאים את מורכבות ההקשות כדי למנוע הצפה או שעמום.

RDEETime Skip
2 of 5
ממשיכים לפתח את Time Skip, משחק פלטפורמה קצר לילדים בגילי 10–12. בזמן המשחק הוא אוסף נתוני התנהגות, כמו זמני תגובה, זיכרון עבודה ודפוסי לחיצה, ומודל AI מעריך לפיהם את הסבירות להפרעת קשב (ADHD). זה כלי סינון, לא אבחון. נשמח לחבר אותו לאתגר של הקלינאים.
