Cooperative Virtual Reality Gaming for Anxiety and Pain Reduction in Pediatric Patients and Their Caregivers During Painful Medical Procedures: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

However, the use of such medication is associated with additional health risks [5], particularly in the context of child development [6]. An additional factor that can influence the emotional experience of child patients is their caregivers, in most cases a parent. Caregivers are also under extraordinary emotional pressure during the child’s stay in hospital.

Effect of a Gamified Family-Based Exercise Intervention on Adherence to 24-Hour Movement Behavior Recommendations in Preschool Children: Single-Center Pragmatic Trial

Each child had a user account to log in and complete exercises twice per week, with one session available from Monday to Wednesday and a repeat session available from Thursday to Sunday. The program comprised 3 phases: a warm-up/activation phase, a training phase (featuring body weight strength exercises, CRF exercises, and color-coded exercises), and a cooldown phase. The number of exercises and repetitions varied from week to week.

mHealth App to Promote Healthy Lifestyles for Diverse Families Living in Rural Areas: Usability Study

Novel Procedures for Evaluating Autism Online in a Culturally Diverse Population of Children: Protocol for a Mixed Methods Pathway Development Study

The 2024 Child of the North (UK) report found that ethnicity and associated language barriers play an important role in determining who gets assessed; overall, children of white heritage are substantially more likely to receive an autism diagnosis than children of Asian heritage [8,9]. Traditional autism evaluations involve developmental history, current behavior descriptions, and direct observation of social interaction skills.
