Read our Schizophrenia research guide →This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
Researchers are testing whether adding gamified rehabilitation — which uses video games and interactive storytelling — to regular hospital care can help people with schizophrenia think more clearly, connect better with others, and recover more fully. You would play these games for 30 minutes, three times a week for 8 weeks, while receiving your normal psychiatric care. The study will then follow you for 24 months to see if the benefits last.
Current hospital rehabilitation programs help, but researchers want to know if adding engaging digital games can boost recovery even more — especially for thinking skills and social functioning, which are often challenging for people with schizophrenia.

If you're in the intervention group, you'll receive your regular hospital psychiatric care plus three 30-minute gaming sessions each week for 8 weeks. These sessions use specially designed video games focused on thinking skills and interactive storytelling. If you're in the control group, you'll receive only standard hospital care. Either way, researchers will assess your thinking, mood, social functioning, and medication adherence at baseline, right after the 8 weeks, and then at 1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 months to see how you're doing long-term.
