Japi 2.0, a gaming platform to stimulate cognitive and non-cognitive skills in early childhood: protocol for a pilot randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Mental health disorders are one of the leading causes of illness globally. The importance of psychosocial skills acquired in early childhood, such as executive functions, inhibitory control, emotional regulation, and social problem-solving, in preventing mental disorders has been reported. Furthermore, mental health care delivery is evolving, and mobile technology is becoming the medium for assessment and intervention. We have developed Japi 2.0, the second iteration of a gaming platform, to stimulate cognitive and non-cognitive skills in early childhood, supported by early years educators using a web-based dashboard integrated into one system. This study aims to assess the acceptability and feasibility of this gaming platform and web-based dashboards.
