SPECULATIVE DESIGN FOR SERIOUS GAMES: TOWARDS A MATRIX FOR THE CONCEPTION OF LUDIC TOOLS IN THE CONTEXT OF ANOREXIA NERVOSA

Anorexia nervosa is responsible for high rates of suicide, infection and starvation among the population, at progressively younger ages. A big reason for this is the lack of recognition of the pathology by the patients themselves, which influences their recovery. This article consists of preliminary findings achieved through an alliance between Speculative Design and Game Design for the development of games as psychoeducational and research ludic tools, to be used as predictive and preventive instruments, as well as possibly to be used for monitoring and aiding the in treatment of anorexia nervosa.
