Temporary disabilities, such as leg and arm fractures, are common injuries among children, requiring physical therapy sessions after the casts are removed. However, children struggle to adhere to these sessions, as they quickly get bored with traditional exercises, and the high cost of therapy sessions can affect the continuity of treatment. Mareen offers a solution to these challenges with an innovative digital game that transforms physical therapy into an interactive experience. The game uses augmented reality, body tracking, and rule-based programming to provide interactive sessions and instant feedback on the child's performance. With today's generation accustomed to using devices, incorporating therapy with fun elements and a points-based reward system where a child completes all the exercises and an egg hatch to reveal a cute animal will effectively motivates children to stay engaged and adds excitement with a sense of achievement to their therapy journey.
