  • Abstract
    This paper describes the playability evaluation of serious game application, which has been developed to significantly improve a new parent´s understanding and treatment of infants with feeding disorders. Feeding problems and the associated crying are a major cause of anxiety in new parents and substantial time and effort is spent by health care visitors in helping parents to tackle these issues. In this paper, the insights from the design and implementation of the application are provided. The engagement of users and their emotional immersion are discussed. Main findings of application evaluation are presented.
