Barron Associates

Barron Associates is a pioneer in the emerging field of video game therapy. Barron Associates' game development goes beyond off-the-shelf games by generating game elements tailored to specific therapeutic goals. Moreover, Barron Associates' video games integrate tracking of relevant clinical indicators, providing healthcare providers with a convenient way to assess patients' performance over time. A key objective in creating these games is to enable individuals in remote or underserved areas to benefit from structured and socially interactive treatment programs. Barron Associates is developing games for multiple applications, including: prosthetic rehabilitation for stroke patients; biofeedback exercises for individuals with knee osteoarthritis; home-based vision therapy for children with amblyopia and convergence disorders; and a smoking cessation aid based on cue-reactivity treatment.
