1 | In what dimensions do patients with attention deficits need to improve? | "… in order to return to daily life faster and to perform activities that were previously able to do, it is better to consider rehabilitation functions that are in line with returning to daily life. Activities such as navigating the subway or bus, driving, cooking, withdrawing money from the bank teller, making purchases from the supermarket and holding a party." |
2 | How do we know that games are evidence-based? | "… it is recommended to use existing standard tasks for the assessment and rehabilitation of attention in the design of games. These should be implemented as games so that they are based on evidence and can be accepted as a scientific work." |
3 | What trainings and methods are appropriate for attention rehabilitation in these patients? | "… Considering that patients with TBI are often between the ages of 20 and 40 and have a low level of literacy, it is recommended that the content of the games be very simple and understandable and can be played by illiterate people as well." |
4 | What is the level of complexity of the games? | "… due to spatial orientation problems in patients, it is better to use 2D games for them. " |

6 | What game platform should be selected? | "… Considering the slow speed and high cost of the internet in Iran, creating a game on the web is not recommended at all. For this reason, it is suggested to create a software that can be installed on smartphones and only to send data to the server and data display for the doctor need internet." |
7 | What should be chosen as the main character in the game? | "… My suggestion is to use a postman character who has a series of missions along the way and each of these missions must be completed. During these missions, points such as coins or an amount of money will be given to the postman." |
