Hi Dr Nassar

I'm a Speech Pathologist in Australia. I work as a part of a VR clinic providing rehabilitation for stroke and Neurology patients. We have anecdotally seen great response with physical, cognitive and mood in our patients. We are partnered with a university to conduct some research.

We use mostly existing games that are VR compatible. I have two questions for you:

I am looking at how I would go about creating a clinical informed game. What is your process from concept to finished product, and do you have any advice for transferring and incorporating evidenced based practice and best practice into a video game format?

Have you conducted any research on your software? Any tips for journals or resources? I'd love to build a body of evidence for this approach to therapy, but I'm not sure where to look.

All the best.

Edit: PS I am currently playing FFXIV!

Hi Doctors

I am a Speech Pathologist with a background in brain injury rehabilitation. Part of my role includes anosmia testing and therapy.

My question is from a rehabilitation perspective: Do you have any guesses on what the mechanism of the anosmia might be? If so, what approach to rehabilitation would you use to promote sense of smell and taste?

Thanks for your time!
