- FitFest: designing a narrative-driven exergame to engage active seniors in physical activityPublication . Freitas, Eva; Noronha, Hildegardo; França, Cíntia; Gouveia, Élvio; Bala, Paulo; Campos, Pedro; Dionísio, Mara; França, Cíntia; Gouveia, Elvio Rúbio; Gouveia, Elvio Rúbio; Gouveia, Élvio Rúbio; Bala, Paulo; Pereira Campos, Pedro Filipe; Campos, Pedro; Dionisio, MaraExergaming is a modern approach frequently used to promote physical activity at all ages while playing digital games. Given that physical health deteriorates with age, that older people tend to live sedentary lifestyles and that they get tired faster due to lack of physical stimulation, maintaining a healthy lifestyle and regular exercise routine is important to avoid unintentional injuries. Taking into account interviews and a focus group with seniors and fitness professionals, this paper reports on the design and development of an exergame for seniors to complement their weekly exercise classes. Fit Fest is an exergame for seniors that leverages narra tive and sociocultural connections to create an engaging exercise experience.
- College tales: pilot study on Large Language Models generated narratives for mental health literacyPublication . Sousa, José Pedro Vieira; Campos, Pedro; Bala, Paulo; Pereira Campos, Pedro Filipe; Campos, Pedro; Bala, PauloMental health, while a crucial component of health, has often been neglected and stigmatised. University students, considering their unique situations and stressors, are more vulnerable to experienc ing mental health challenges and being affected by stigma. The use of Large Language Models (LLMs) creates an opportunity to impart knowledge through digital interventions to address stigma, misinformation, and increase Mental Health Literacy in univer sity students. Using a LLM generated prompt game, we conducted a pilot study with 5 mental health professionals. Through semi structured interviews about the prototype and the narrative, we identified several narrative problems, such as missing information or overly simplified concepts. While the prototype has limitations, the participants considered it to have potential to be integrated as a tool for professionals.
