About

KIKAN (KINDER Kreativ gegen ANgst) is an innovative project designed to provide accessible therapy for children suffering from anxiety disorders.

The project uses an interactive game where children face their fears, represented by monsters, and build self-confidence through successful game outcomes.

This game-based therapy combines play with real-world data collection, aiming to enhance therapeutic outcomes for children in outpatient psychotherapy or those waiting for therapy placements.

KIKAN focuses on gamifying the treatment of anxiety disorders and incorporating low-threshold, accessible solutions into clinical practice.
