Game

"In addition to standard medical care, children in the experimental group will receive the Match-3 game. The game will be designed for short individual gameplay sessions (as little as a few seconds), once to three times a day, over the course of 8 weeks, involving no more than 15 minutes per day in anticipated screen time. There is no way to lose the game. Through a structured series of daily interactions, the player will learn strategies and develop decision-making abilities that will assist with management of their own JIA. The Match 3 concept (similar to the game, Bejeweled) will require the player to successfully match the treatment strategy to the JIA symptom."
