Project Fizzyo: A Breathing Exercise Game for Children with Cystic Fibrosis
Advancements in hardware
It is not just the electronic technology that is advanced. The insert that contains the sensor has been modified numerous times so that it now fits a variety of airway clearance devices and is easier to clean. They have leveraged the help of UCL students as well, who are now working on projects to further develop necessary technology. The CTO of Academic Engagements at Microsoft UK, Lee Scott, has started four “hackathons” where volunteer designers can create new games to go with the sensor. Variety is the key to keeping children engaged, and making sure there is an option that fits the interests of each unique child.
