Project Description

More than ever, people all over the world suffer from mental illness. Worldwide about 280 million people are currently affected by depression, numbers rising. Not only depression but all mental health disorders need long term and individual treatments.
The game »Motivmosaik« (Momo) was primarily developed for people with depression, who often suffer from severe cognitive disorders. Playing with Momo actively improves these affected cognitive functions of the patient. The ability to concentrate, sensomotoric skills, coordination, visual thinking and creativity are exercised. What might look like a children’s game can actually be very difficult or even overwhelming for depressives.
For an optimal implementation of the concept and design, the game was developed in close dialogue with experts from the psychiatric department of the University Hospital Würzburg. Momo is a new helpful tool to be used in therapy, precisely adjusted to fit the individual needs of patients and therapists.
