Ahead of the Game: Balancing the Gaming Industry and Public Interest

该项目与数字游戏的风险作斗争，并从中获益。这就存在着一种风险，即玩家会失去对游戏的控制，并将其置于其他职责之上。这被使用数字游戏的健康益处所抵消。它是第一个解码和使用嵌入在玩家和他们的游戏角色（化身）之间的连接中的健康数据的公司。它通过同时评估重要的玩家、家庭、文化和游戏结构特征来做到这一点。研究结果将促进澳大利亚健康游戏行业的道德发展，并通过根据用户需求定制游戏来对抗游戏障碍。这将使澳大利亚人受益，因为它将重新引导这个不断增长的行业，更好地为公众利益服务。

This project battles the risks and embraces the benefits of digital gaming. There is a risk that one loses control of their gaming and prioritises it over other duties. This is offset by the benefits of using digital games for health. It is the first to decode and use the health data embedded in the connection between the gamer and their game persona (avatar). It does this by concurrently assessing important gamer, family, cultural and game structure features. Findings will prompt the ethical growth of the Australian Health games industry and inform strategies to combat gaming disorder by tailoring games to users' needs. This will uniquely benefit Australians by re-directing this growing industry to better serve the public interest.
