Title
Beyond the Hype: AI, Digital Twins & VR Games Redefining Brain Fitness
Summary
Serious games in healthcare are no longer experimental—they are transforming how we engage, motivate, and measure recovery. Yet for individuals rebuilding their lives after acquired brain injury (ABI), the next evolution extends beyond rehabilitation toward brain fitness: adaptive, personalized, and emotionally intelligent experiences designed to restore independence, confidence, and—most importantly—dignity. This talk introduces BrainBoostXR, an AI-powered virtual reality platform that combines digital twins, cognitive biomarkers, and gamified therapeutic experiences to redefine cognitive rehabilitation. By analyzing in-game behaviours such as accuracy, response time, attention patterns, and problem-solving strategies, BrainBoostXR generates objective cognitive biomarkers. These biomarkers not only power dynamic difficulty progression—ensuring each challenge adapts to maintain optimal engagement and learning—but also provide clinicians with detailed, real-time insights into patient recovery, enabling truly personalized, precision-driven rehabilitation. Within immersive virtual environments, users safely practice real-life cognitive skills such as planning, multitasking, and adaptive decision-making. Gamification elements—including rewards, progression systems, and meaningful feedback—transform repetitive therapy into motivating, sustainable experiences. Central to the platform is an empathic AI companion that provides real-time guidance, encouragement, and social presence. By addressing the profound social isolation and loneliness many individuals experience following neurological injury, our companion supports emotional wellbeing while helping restore dignity alongside measurable cognitive progress. This session explores how AI, immersive XR, and neuroscience can move rehabilitation beyond traditional models—bridging cognitive recovery with emotional resilience, social connection, and person-centred care.
