Cet objectif chiffré n'a pas de base scientifique. Mais augmenter son activité physique, surtout lorsque l'on a un mode de vie sédentaire, permet d'allonger son espérance de vie et de prévenir des maladies chroniques.
Cet équipement, se basant sur le principe de réalité virtuelle, serait révolutionnaire. Le Laboratoire d’Analyse de la Marche en temps réel (abrégé GRAIL en anglais) est un bijou technologique pour les patients en situation de handicap comme pour le personnel médical. Son inauguration avait lieu ce vendredi 16 juin à l’hôpital du Grau-du-Roi dépendant du CHU de Nîmes.

Subscribe Now Recent clinical trial data revealed remarkable improvements in ADHD symptoms, concentration, focus, and overall quality of life in adults who used EndeavorOTC. Approximately 83% of participants reported clinical improvements in attention, while average focus levels improved by 85%. In fact, over one-third of individuals experienced the elimination of attention deficits through this non-pharmacological treatment. Moreover, 73% of participants observed quality of life benefits, such as improved task management, timely completion of chores, and an enhanced ability to locate important items like keys and wallets. The introduction of EndeavorOTC is particularly timely, as the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated mental health challenges and increased the demand for effective ADHD therapies. Akili launched this groundbreaking solution under the FDA's enforcement policy, which expedites access to low-risk mental health digital health devices. By providing a safe and accessible non-drug option, EndeavorOTC addresses the gap between the growing demand for care and the limited availability of viable treatments for adults with ADHD. This novel video game treatment signifies a significant step forward in ADHD therapy. Historically, adults with ADHD have been overlooked compared to children, despite the profound impact this condition can have on various aspects of their lives. Dr. Stephen Faraone, a Distinguished Professor, and Vice Chair for Research, highlights the adverse consequences of untreated ADHD on personal and professional well-being. The President of the World Federation for ADHD emphasizes the urgent need for new, non-pharmacological treatments that effectively support adults with ADHD. EndeavorOTC addresses this unmet need by providing adults with a fun and engaging treatment option. By leveraging the power of video games, Akili empowers individuals with ADHD to take control of their symptoms and improve their cognitive abilities. The company plans to actively involve users in product development, seeking their feedback to create future versions of the game that are more engaging, enjoyable, and effective. The availability of EndeavorOTC is especially crucial for millions of Americans who lack reliable access to medication or adequate mental healthcare providers. Eddie Martucci, CEO of Akili, emphasizes the significance of offering patients better non-drug treatment options. Drawing upon the success of EndeavorRx in children, Martucci highlights the positive impact of the core technology inside EndeavorOTC, which has already helped thousands of children with ADHD. With the introduction of EndeavorOTC, eligible adults now have rapid access to a clinically established treatment alternative. By engaging users in activities that enhance focus while disregarding distractions, the treatments effectively improve attention and daily functioning. Therefore, Akili's EndeavorOTC marks a groundbreaking advancement in ADHD therapy for adults.

Background: Gamification refers to the use of game elements in nongame contexts. The use of gamification to change behaviors and promote physical activity (PA) is a promising avenue for tackling the global physical inactivity pandemic and the current prevalence of chronic diseases. However, there is no evidence of the effectiveness of gamified interventions with the existence of mixed results in the literature.
Objective: The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to evaluate the effectiveness of gamified interventions and their health care potential by testing the generalizability and sustainability of their influence on PA and sedentary behavior.
Methods: A total of 5 electronic databases (PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials) were searched for randomized controlled trials published in English from 2010 to 2020. Eligibility criteria were based on the components of the participants, interventions, comparators, and outcomes framework. Studies were included when they used gamified interventions in daily life with an active or inactive control group and when they assessed a PA or sedentary behavior outcome. We conducted meta-analyses using a random-effects model approach. Sensitivity analyses, influence analyses, and publication bias analyses were performed to examine the robustness of our results.
Results: The main meta-analysis performed on 16 studies and 2407 participants revealed a small to medium summary effect of gamified interventions on PA behavior (Hedges g=0.42, 95% CI 0.14-0.69). No statistical difference among different subgroups (adults vs adolescents and healthy participants vs adults with chronic diseases) and no interaction effects with moderators such as age, gender, or BMI were found, suggesting good generalizability of gamified interventions to different user populations. The effect was statistically significant when gamified interventions were compared with inactive control groups, such as waiting lists (Hedges g=0.58, 95% CI 0.08-1.07), and active control groups that included a nongamified PA intervention (Hedges g=0.23, 95% CI 0.05-0.41). This suggests that gamified interventions are not only efficient in changing behavior but also more effective compared with other behavioral interventions. The long-term effect (measured with follow-up averaging 14 weeks after the end of the intervention) was weaker, with a very small to small effect (Hedges g=0.15, 95% CI 0.07-0.23).
Conclusions: This meta-analysis confirms that gamified interventions are promising for promoting PA in various populations. Additional analyses revealed that this effect persists after the follow-up period, suggesting that it is not just a novelty effect caused by the playful nature of gamification, and that gamified products appear effective compared with equivalent nongamified PA interventions. Future rigorous trials are required to confirm these findings.
