The thesis project focuses on applied games in the healthcare field. More specifically, it aims to explore the use of digital games and instrumented devices to assess functional motor skills (e.g. object manipulation or handover) in children with sensorimotor conditions. These assessments are crucial to understand a child specific developmental deficiencies or skills, and help clinicians make better decisions on a patient's care plan. However, these frequent clinical assessments can present heavy burden on already saturated healthcare systems, such as the NHS. Digital play assessments have the potential to facilitate more frequent, home-based tests in an environment safe and familiar to the child.

本论文的研究重点是在医疗保健领域的应用游戏。更具体地说，它的目的是探索使用数字游戏和仪器设备来评估功能性运动技能（例如，对象操作或移交）的感觉运动条件的儿童。这些评估对于了解儿童特定的发育缺陷或技能至关重要，并帮助临床医生对患者的护理计划做出更好的决定。然而，这些频繁的临床评估可能会给已经饱和的医疗保健系统（如NHS）带来沉重的负担。数字游戏评估有可能促进在儿童安全和熟悉的环境中进行更频繁的家庭测试。
