The Effects of Videogames on Depression Symptoms and Brain Dynamics
This study is completed. It focuses on depression and currently lists study information in Finland.
DepressionOtherFrom 18 Years to 65 Years
Key information made simple
This study exists to see whether a digital app or remote support tool can play a useful role in care. Researchers are trying to understand whether a digital app or remote support tool can improve attention, thinking, or day-to-day functioning. For people living with Depression, access and fit can matter just as much as the treatment itself. If the findings are useful, they could expand practical options that fit more easily into real life. Taking part helps build the evidence that can improve understanding and care for others over time.
Your next step
The official record suggests a mix of remote and in-person participation through a hospital, with sites including Turku University Hospital, Aalto University (TMS) in Espoo, and Aalto University, Department of Neuroscience and Biomedical Engineering in Espoo. Participation appears to involve questionnaires, interviews, or regular check-ins about day-to-day experience. The main fit is usually having access to the required digital tools and meeting the main study requirements, while common reasons not to take part include pregnancy or breastfeeding and major medical issues that could make participation unsuitable. The official record does not list a formal phase, which usually means this is focused more on feasibility, delivery, or support than a standard drug-development stage.
