Hello from the UT Austin Digital Heart Health Study Team!
Thanks to all your support we are now in the next phase of our research. We received funding from the National institutes of Health to conduct our digital heart health study with 200 people with heart failure in 7 southern US states (Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, Georgia, Alabama).
Updates to the game
With the new funding, we have made several updates to the game to make it more fun and enjoyable experience. We added:
  • A goal algorithm adaptive to stamina levels
  • Several new levels
  • Slider to customize age and skin tone of the avatar
  • Revamped our leaderboard system
  • Added new behavior quests

 
Current Study Status

Enrolled: 8

If you see a case that fits our inclusion criteria (45+ years, diagnosis of heart failure, can walk unassisted, read and write English), please refer them to this link: tinyurl.com/dhhstudy
