VR-EF Analysis Dashboard
Neurodevelopmental disorders such as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) affect millions of children and are characterized by executive function (EF) deficits, including planning and impulse control. While conventional EF assessments might lack ecological validity and overlook subtle behavioral differences, virtual reality (VR) provides immersive environments and precise kinematic data, enabling objective, quantitative measures and remote administration for early detection.
I developed a web dashboard that enables researchers to analyze game performance data from the National Research Council Canada's bWell VR application. The dashboard streamlines the analysis workflow, allowing researchers to upload batch data, apply filters, view performance metrics, and visualize temporal patterns across different EF tasks.
