From hospital pilots to studies at home: the clinical, feasibility and co-creation work of Breathing Games since 2014, done with children, families, young adults and care teams in seven countries. None of these studies is a randomised trial: they cover development and feasibility, not yet the evaluation of efficacy.
Each bar is the period of a study; the colour is its type. The label gives the number of the study.
Cystic fibrosis
Asthma
COPD, exchanges and public tests
Schematic map, not to scale: the numbers mark the four countries where most studies, game jams and exchanges took place, and the cards list the hospitals, partners and funders.

In 2023-2024 a game was also tested in Italy, Belgium, South Korea and Syria; these partners are not on the map.
CHU Sainte-Justine, Montréal · Canada
First test of games during PEP physiotherapy, with a questionnaire before and after, no control group.
HE-Arc (HES-SO), Neuchâtel · Switzerland
A randomised trial is impossible in cystic fibrosis (about fifty eligible young people in French-speaking Switzerland), hence the shift to asthma; project judged feasible, funding remaining the challenge.
CHU Sainte-Justine, Montréal · Canada
Games judged acceptable; knowledge transfer, role-play and playing together help self-management.
CHU Sainte-Justine, Montréal · CHU de Québec – Université Laval · Canada
Good correlation with spirometry (r = 0.83), mean bias −36.4 L/min; over three quarters would use the game at home.
Hôpital Necker-Enfants malades (AP-HP), Paris · France
Two prototypes co-created in two-day game jams; participants' feedback all positive.
Besançon · France
Five-day co-creation game jam with older adults with COPD, hosted with the Arc-en-ciel foundation.
Notte europea dei ricercatori, Palermo · Italy
Exhibition and public test of games with the Palermo institute of biomedical research (IRIB-CNR).
IRIB-CNR Palermo · Seoul National University Hospital · University of Lattakia · CHU Tivoli · Italy, South Korea, Syria, Belgium
Italy, South Korea, Syria and Belgium; a GARD 2021 poster gathers part of the team.
CHU Sainte-Justine, Montréal · Canada
Asthma Heroes used with a breathing sensor by children hospitalised after an asthma attack; 15 of the 30 children test breathing exercises in parallel.
CHU Sainte-Justine, Montréal · Canada
Very positive family experience; self-reported PEP adherence up 12.8 % (p = 0.04). Single arm: the effect remains to be tested in controlled studies.
