*The Digital Me project is based on 10 years of in-
depth research and prototyping, resulting in a proven
framework of game-based learning methodology and
toolsets.
*Using these design principles, an increase of
cognitive abilities 2.5 times over that of traditional
drill and practice methods has been proven.
*These principles, including the Adaptive Intelligence
Module (AIM) and Active Intuitive Scaffolding (AIS)
features, are the core of this revolutionary
application.

*The application will also provide features
such as reminding the user to complete
real-life tasks (like take medications), all
in a safe virtual environment with parental
control or clinical supervision.
